The incoming male osprey did not land on the nest I’d been watching so, surprised, I continued photographing and wound up capturing this series of photos of a female osprey defending her nest against an intruder. As with many raptors, osprey females are larger than males.
I can either take pictures or think about what is going on but knowing so little about birds it’s better for me take pictures. –Sally Mack, May 11, 2026
