This is one of a nesting pair of osprey's I recently saw. It flew above me with a salmon dangling in its grip. A couple who lives in the Magnolia neighborhood pointed out the nest to me. It must be four or five feet wide and is perched on top of a tower near the railroad bridge within sight of their house. The couple told me the ospreys had displaced some eagles that had nested nearby in years past, and that the eagles had moved further west and could now be seen hunting across from the renovated old Azteca location next to Ray's Boathouse. There are wonders to see and stories being told if we will just look up :-). Tomorrow I'll show you the nest, but today it is Skywatch Friday. Many more interesting skies to be seen by clicking here.

Thanks for the reminder about looking up and for the reward of this image.
Whoa! Spectacular!
Excellent shot Kim.
There is an Osprey nest on a power pole near my Mothers on Whidbey. they are a wonder to watch. MB
What a cool shot! I think I can make out the salmon. You were lucky to catch this and I can't wait to see the nest.
Happy Friday!
That is so cool! I love watching the large birds, although I cannot identify them!
Aren't ospreys amazing?

Nice shot of the Osprey Kim. They are truly amazing birds and I love watching them raise their young.
Thanks very much to each of you. And everybody, do yourself a favor and head over to Larry's website (click his name above then click on his website link) for a treat you don't want to miss. He has multiple close up shots of nesting ospreys in Northern California. . .amazing shots! Thanks for checking in, Larry.
