VJ, you captured the young osprey well. I don’t think I have seen one in a still photo. Keith

  Thanks Keith. He didn’t sit still for long – had to do a bit of tailing before catching him unaware.

Fabulous! You Nailed It! Is that a red-shouldered hawk in the top photo? Looks like it might be large enough to be red-tailed hawk but I couldn’t make out the tail. 🙂

John has since passed away, and this summer we were finally able to give the birdhouse a home in our garden.
