Thanks for the ping, Fly.

Beautiful video of ospreys. I’m not a birder but would say they are a majestic bird as I say elk are majestic animals.

When we lived in So OR we were fortunate enough to take a couple trips on the Rogue River below Grants Pass, there are osprey nests along the river. If I remember correctly they were in the tops of snags along the river, quite high but we could see some of them.

Yeah, they usually build a nest high in a tree (or utility pole, if the locals will accommodate that).

Down where I live, we have two seasons:

In winter, I survey count the bald eagles visiting the southwestern waterways. But in about late February/early March, the bald eagles skedaddle and the ospreys come in.

It's almost like tag team wrestling. Ha ha!

And by the way, if it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna turn you into a birder!

Mark my words!
