We are at one fine site for birding. This is DesertDale on one of our outing for birding, here at Mason's Valley WMA.
This Osprey has set their nest on a site that has been set up for nesting for the birds. It is just a few yards from our base camp. They build their use bulky sticks to make their nest atop of bare trees or poles, like this one. The Osprey hovers above the water and plunges feet-first for his fish.
They are found on all continents except Antarctica. They are a very large bird. They are the only raptor that hover over the water for their pray.
They are found on rivers, lakes and on the coasts.
This Osprey is giving DesertDale the "Get out of my way" look.
Our "prize" photo of the Osprey was taken at "Fish Lake Valley WMA. There are 3 ponds there.
One is a "Hot Springs", real nice.
