Nesting Osprey
Ospreys construct massive nests of large branches, on the tops of tall trees, usually very close to water. This picture shows the female on the nest. Male and female osprey are very similar in coloration, but the female's brownish "necklace" is more distinct (compare to the earlier post of the male osprey).
Seen in J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA.
