Love is in the Air

Love is in the Air!  This morning Winston, my dog, and I were out for our morning run and the first love couple we happened upon were a pair of osprey in a new nest.  It will be fun to watch this pair!  It’s close to the road, next time, I will take my “real” camera.

Osprey hunt fish by hovering over water and then diving feet first to capture prey in their powerful talons.

Once a pair has formed, the male(right) will show his partner potential nest sites, usually in tall trees.  In between these “site visits”, the pair vigorously preen each other.  (Hugging included)
