For good reason Little Estero Lagoon comes in a close second as a favorite Southwest Florida wildlife venue behind Bunche Beach Preserve. The birds were very accommodating as I continued my walk south toward Carlos Point and back. The Black Scoter was an especially nice find with their behavior “ridiculously tame” as world wildlife photographer […]

Osprey with Gar
Last month at Overlook Park I saw an Osprey fly by. This happens so frequently that I usually don’t bother to take a photo. However, this time looked a little different. I put my binoculars on the bird and noticed that it was carrying a gar. I can’t imagine that this is good eating, but […]
Águila pescadora, Osprey, Pandion haliaetus

Estas son las imágenes que se pudieron obtener para este nuevo […]
Ospreys Mating
This osprey nest platform is at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville, New Jersey. The female on the nest is in a crouched and open-winged posture soliciting copulation. The male is approaching, ready to comply. Watch the video below to see what happens next.

Osprey With Fish
The fishermen weren’t catching anything, but the Osprey were. This one was sitting perched on a post near the shore of Lake Monroe mocking the fishermen. It was a sorry sight, really. The fishermen couldn’t come close to the skill of the Osprey. Well, they weren’t alone in their Osprey-jealousy, since apparently the Bald Eagles […]
Bald Eagle Birthday
I have been watching a web cam trained on a Bald Eagle nest in New Jersey every day for almost two months. I let it run all day on my computer desktop at work; the infrequent bursts of activity catch my eye, but it is mostly patient waiting. The nest is in a tree on […]
