Way cool! I should start doing that with my winter birds again. It's just tough to stand still for extended periods when it's freezing outside!

I found an Osprey nest within a 1/2 mile of me. Yesterday morning I got a few shots of the two of them in nest.

That's very cool! If I had one near me I would get nothing else accomplished. :lol:

On the way to work this morning, this bird caught my attention. Took a couple of photos before he flew off. I'm not sure what kind of this is?
