Osprey at Quiet Waters Park

The weatherman was correct;cold and very windy. I headed to Quiet Waters early in hopes of seeing some migrating ducks or other early migrants.
I did get my first Osprey pic of the year, and a few nice ducks, but no surprises.

One thought on “Osprey at Quiet Waters Park

  1. Dear Hugh,
    I LOVE your blog … but I don’t look at it very often, because it takes forever to load either on my phone or on my criminally slow (Comcast!) wifi at home. Would you consider posting all but the first pic behind a cut?
