Part 7 of ‘weekend update’ content at Presque Isle State Park, last Sunday at Thompson Bay – first Osprey of the spring!
Long distance shot – Osprey @ tree, head of Thompson Bay:
Backlit shots of ‘hovering’/hunting behavior (taken from edge of Thompson Bay):
Then backlit shots in flight:
A short time later, from near Thompson Circle (Dead Pond Trail east trailhead), probably heading off west into the woods for fish dinner:
Saw a couple Osprey-sized birds far off in the distance, but unsure if there was one Osprey in the area or more than one. (Plenty of distant Bald Eagle and Turkey Vulture activity as well.)
