One of my absolute favorite birds is the Osprey. They are industrious, hard working birds. Unlike the eagle, that would rather steal a meal rather than catch it on its own, Osprey spend their time fishing. They are excellent anglers, having successful catch rates of up to 70%. Their toes are unique amongst birds, in that their outer toe is reversible. This allows them to grasp prey with two toes behind and two in the front, unlike the usual one behind and three in the front, of most other raptors. The pads on their feet are equipped with small barbs that make handling slippery fish easier. I look forward to their return to New Jersey in spring, and visiting them when I can in Florida, during the winter. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #America #USA #Osprey #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Canon #Bringit #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday

All shots in this set were taken along various freight lines in Queens & Brooklyn. The latest ones were shot earlier this year during the research & creation of a graffiti book by Joseph Anastasio. If you'd like a well put-together compilation of current graffiti on and along NYC's B&Q rails, grab ahold of a copy of his latest book Brooklyn Queens Freight.

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.

Kayaking some of the New Jersey intercoastal waterways over the last few weeks has given me the opportunity to see some of our migrating shorebirds with a different perspective. It has also given some of our birds the opportunity to see me in a different perspective, too. Most seem indifferent, a few remain as wary as they always are, but several, including nesting osprey, seem to be much more wary than they would be had I approached them on land. Most of the nesting osprey, near enough to the waterways, will take to the air to check me out. A few have seemed downright annoyed, as in this photo. And on one occasion I thought I might actually come under attack. It the birds become excited I do my best to get by them as quickly and quietly as possible. Osprey survive on a diet of fish, and are the only North American Raptor able to dive into water to catch fish and then fly away. Though I think this bird might like to eat me, I don't think it was looking at me adoringly, at all! #iLoveBirds #iLoveNature #iloveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Osprey #Canon #WildlifePhotography

An Osprey flies over its nest near Cape May, New Jersey. Thanks to extensive conservation efforts and abandonment of the use of certain pesticides, these (and many other) beautiful birds are returning in increasing numbers across our country. Eagles were far from the only birds affected by the widespread use of DDT. Osprey are beautifully talented, hard working birds. Unlike eagles, most of what they eat they catch themselves. They are also able to dive, completely submerge, and then escape the water with prey in talons and fly away. I have yet to meet an osprey that I don't like! #ILoveWildlife #ILoveBirds #birds #birding #Osprey #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey

One of my favorite raptors glares at me from the nest, though I doubt it does so with any adoration. Osprey are fairly protective of their nests. Without seeing both birds in a mated pair it can be difficult to distinguish between male and female. When they are both present, the female is generally larger, and the brownish "necklace" across her white chest is generally darker and more pronounced than in the male. There is a good deal of crossover, so identifying the sex of any single bird can be difficult. That being said, males are generally the first to arrive at nesting sites. They will begin their nest building before the female arrives, trying to make sure they've created a happy place to please their mate. Men better start to worry that women don't find out about this or we might all be in big trouble! #iloveNature #iLoveWildlife #iLoveBirds #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #America #USA #DrDADBooks #ChildrensBooks #AreYouAFish #FindYourPark #FYPyes #Opresy #ThompsonBeach
