a day in the life of Harvey the osprey...

"where the hell is that useless Harvey?"

Ethyl berates Harvey in front of his children for being a lousy provider. Harvey hangs his head in shame.

"no!" says Harvey. "i'm NOT a lousy fisherman, and i'll prove it!"

"i'll be right back!"

15 minutes later...

"this'll show her..." thinks Harvey as he returns with a fat sculpin...

"Here's a nice fat fish, Ethyl!" redemption!

Nice light! Now some questions for you. What time did you start this series of shots and how high up is the platform and how far away from it are you? Alsooo... Have you been seeing any babies in there?

EDIT: Wow, third pic down, mom is staring eye to eye with a baby. I can see the back of the baby's head!

thanks, Chad... i think i started these around 6:30 or 7:00... the platform is an old-style power pole... you can see the insulators still bolted to the cross-members. the nest is probably 25-30 feet off the ground. i was about 25 yards away, maybe 30, so not too steep an angle... there are at least two chicks in the nest. will post shots of them in a bit.
