Baby Leaves Home

My, my.... what excitement!

A strange bird call that went on and on. A mad dash for the camera and then snapping picture after picture. 

It's the Baby... all grown up .. being told by Mama to "get out of the nest and go fend for yourself".

My camera but my daughter was taking the pictures...


Where is it? Oh, see, right there in the middle of the picture, a tiny spot of gray. It's a bird, a large bird. Wonder what it is....


Ah, zoomed now ... at least partway. A hawk, maybe? Not sure at this point.


It's turning it's head... oh yes, the yellow eyes, the curved beak, the wide wingspan. Can't be but one kind of bird like that.



An osprey, fledging one, out on his own... So exciting to see him so up close and personal.


Linking with Saturday Critters and Camera Critters
