An Osprey, as photographed by Jan de Vries

Ospreys choose to nest on the Mendonoma Coast, a fact we are very happy about. Ospreys are fishing to feed their new babies in nests. Recently Jan de Vries had a chance to photograph one close up.


This Osprey appears to be glaring at Jan.

 And below you can see the back of the Osprey.

Thanks to Jan for allowing me to share his photos with you here.
