One female and her harem of three males have been nesting in the canal behind my house for the last four years. For 2011 they arrived on March 3rd.
The female tends to be plain looking and brown while the males are much more colorful.
Double sided nesting puppets, digital drawings printed on fabric. Each featured a fun surprise on the back (like the robot is run by mice, the cupcake has a bite out, etc.) Characters are a robot, fairy, alien, cupcake, balloon riders, and a bug.
on Puffin Island.
Our cruise was a wonderful experience and we saw may wonderful birds.I found the photography quite a challenge due to the movement of the boat.
Here's a version with a few fun options. Opting for a Shiny Wax finish, this customer went with audience-side wooden bass hoop, black hardware, and a DW tom mount on the bass, plus a couple of extra brackets for tom arms. FUN! 8x10, 9x13, 14x16, 18x20; plied maple; shiny wax.
A feisty relationship in the nest. This was one of ten pecking attacks that went back and forth in about 20 minutes of shooting. Makes for a good shot thought.
One of my favorite birds to photograph they will always pose for you.
There are two chicks in the nest. I have never seen the mother leave the nest. Papa will hunt for the family until the chicks are almost fully fledged.
These birds are very tolerant of people so they don't mind nesting where people are as long as there is a body of water near by for a food source. Osprey nest can be found on the ground or even up to 60 feet high on live trees, dead trees, utility poles, duck blinds, fishing shacks, storage tanks, aerials, cranes, power line transmission towers, billboards, chimneys, windmills, fences, channel buoys, and even on artificial platforms built by humans. Most nests vary in size, between one foot wide and up to ten feet wide, with the exterior composed of small and large sticks and an inside lining constructed of inner bark, sod, grasses, vines, and many other items that the osprey are able to carry away from the ground. Large nests may reach up to 400 lbs., and are often used in successive years!

The other day bought a set of blank wooden nesting dolls that I got on sale at Michael's, my next project is to do my own paintings in them. Been working in my sketchbook creating different ideas for this project. Here is the strange bird family version.
Ospreys are back to Connecticut. I found these nesting pair at Stamford, CT. This is just the beginning and I think I will have plenty of opportunity to capture them digitally this year. Lets hope for the best!
Work for upcoming show at: www.aokayofficial.com/ in April!
I can take commissions for custom nesting dolls :)

Peaceful Doves, nesting in a ficus branch just above our main verandah steps. The parent attracted the young out of the nest and along the branch by feeding them away from the nest. This was a day or so before they left the nest.
A visit to RSPB Bempton Cliffs reserve south of Scarborough, combined with lunch at Flamborough head, provided plenty of opportunity to observe the nesting Gannets, Fulmars and Kittiwakes at close quarters, whilst Shags were to be seen skimming the coastline just offshore. Bempton is the only mainland Gannet colony and presents quite a spectacle with thousands of birds rearing large grey fluffy chicks on the precipitous chalk cliffs
