They were endangered, in the 50s and 60s. Human ignorance of DDT and the poisons we put into the environment. Thankfully, these beautiful birds are soaring again.
On an aimless drive, which ended up on backroads, as well as a late lunch at The Cove, I spotted an Osprey with a fish. With water still frozen on most of our lakes, I wondered where on earth it found this large fish. Ask a question on the Lanark Birds Facebook group, get an answer: flowing rivers that are spawning grounds!

We don't have Ospreys in Oklahoma but I have seen them on the coasts when we travel and I find them fascinating. Great shot of he bird with the fish.
Beautiful captures, particularly in flight!
Awesome seeing the osprey and nest.. They are cool birds to watch! Great photos, Jen! Thanks for linking up and sharing your post, have a happy weekend!
So exciting! beautiful photos! Love the one with the fish. Hope you have two fledglings this year as well!
Simply beautiful!
What a joy to see. Great birds and great images.
Great shots. Love to see them soar. They were re-introduced here a few years ago and are going fine.
Well, that tells us that they can travel a long way to find their prey.
