    Hi Saurora, They are nesting on Shellmaker Island in the Newport Upper backbay. I think they are now giving tours, or at least it seemed that way. Apparently the had to halt construction of a new science center until the chicks leave the nest.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Harry! Maybe next time I'll have better lighting, and more variety of birds.

    Some nice shots there Glenn. thumb.gif I must say you've got some very talented osprey. I've never seen these birds build such an elaborate nest. I would have killed for a shot of an osprey swinging a hammer or using a saw. Amazing. :D
