Home Alone 0672
While mom is home alone tending to the nest built primarily by her mate, another osprey attempts to drop by. The visit is not welcome, and she manages to fend off the unwanted arrival. These osprey chose a bare dead tree on the edge of a parking lot in Flamingo as their nest for 2015. They are smarter than they seem. They realize that they can tolerate the proximity to humans better than a lot of other predatory birds. It provides them, and their offspring, with a modicum of safety that other osprey, nesting farther away, may not enjoy. Another couple has chosen a nest on a walking bridge tower, not 10 feet from where human activity is frequent. That nest is busy each and every year I visit Flamingo. Smart birds! #iLoveNature #iLoveBirds #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Flamingo #EvergladesNationalPark #Nature in #Florida #America #USA #Canon #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Bringit #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
