The Joy of Flight by

Breeding ospreys are known to travel as far as 14 km from their nest during hunting forays. Non-breeding individuals are known to travel as far as 10 km between their daytime feeding grounds and their roosts.
They vigorously defend their nests or nest sites from intruders. This is most likely because nests are used by the same pair for many years, and represent a significant investment of time and energy by that pair.

About byronbackyard

Many thanks for checking out my photos, please feel free to give feedback! My wanderings in nature and observations of birds, particularly raptors, is what gives me great joy and constantly reminds me of the beauty and strength of life. My favourites are raptors, I love their freedom, grace, ruthlessness, pride, adaptability and flexibility and I learn much about parenting, protection and blind faith from them.

    Wow, I envy your skies for starters! This is a great action capture, you seem to have a talent for catching them in flight honey~☺

  • Thanks Kimberly …. we get lots of skies like that here and I have used a filter to make the colors a little more subtle. Still playing around with the profile page stuff …. thanks so much for your help.
