Another nice morning, another walk in the refuge. A family of deer crossed the road in front of me on my way to the shore, but it was too dark for usable shots. I heard the typical osprey calls all morning. They were flying all over the place, but not really fishing. The wind was pretty stiff; maybe that had something to do with it.
I got a few glimpses of eagles, but nothing noteworthy. Both nests were occupied, each with a parent in the nest and a mate nearby.

Ospreys flew by me on several occasions, circling me, checking me out.

This one and its mate had a few sticks and I think they were planning to nest, but the tree looked like a poor choice.

And here's the result of one more encounter.

| Osprey Stares at Me |
The bird watchers were out in force, walking around with scopes on tripods. The team of bird banders gave up early because of too much wind.
