Zorro & Esperanza are Osprey mates that has laid claim on a nesting platform on a private residence along the banks of the Magothy River for some years now. Last year, they had 3 nestlings & it was fun watching them fledge & hanging out along the Magothy River & doing flyovers during the summer of 2016. The entire family left in the fall for their winter migration.

This year, Zorro, as usual arrived first on 3/16/17. Esperanza arrived on 3/21/17. Esperanza started laying eggs about 20 days ago.

 

This is the entire frame that was captured by the camera. There is absolutely NO crop. When she stretched her wings, I didn't have time to zoom out.
