I run a trail that goes by a nesting platform for osprey. When I run under it, one of the parents will take off and do this little show of threatening me. The nest is really high up and the birds don't actually get close to me, but they kinda try to make it look like they're coming my direction and screech. It's pretty cool.

The last month or so I've been able to see their kids up on the platform. 5 days ago I stopped seeing anything, so I figured they'd migrated a little early. But I did some research and it said the father will stay behind for a few weeks to help teach the juveniles to hunt.

When I went out today I looked down by the water(the platform is on a hill by a river), I saw the 3 of them on a dead tree hanging over the river.

It was beautiful, it made me kinda of wistful that I won't be seeing them anymore.

Come to Australia. We're about to enter magpie swooping season. They nest in the same place every year and live for about 20 years. There's a swooper on my ride to work

Osprey are cool as hell! I've got a pal that does amazing bird photography and he got such an amazing shot of an Osprey family a few months ago. Also one of a deeply uneasy alliance, a crow, a bald eagle and a raven all within 2 feet of one another
