For many years now, these platforms on top of the power line poles south of Mulege..and close to the Cortez..have provided nest building sites for our
local osprey. Bravo.bill erhardt - 3-23-2011 at 07:51 AM
Osprey nesting stands are also built on power poles on the road between Lopez Mateos and Insurgentes. Not on every pole, but spaced every half or
three quarters of a mile and generally on poles on higher ground. Probably taking into account territorial imperatives.
Bravo, indeed.

Great pics guys! Spotted one out at San Juan De La Costa the other day. Also on a power pole, next to the pier for the mine. I could watch birds of
prey all day long, even more so if they are fishing.goldhuntress - 3-23-2011 at 10:30 AM
A nest on the way to Laguna Manuela.

Great shot of the chicks, huntress! Kudos.
even light poles are nest worthy

Hate to bother him if he wants tobe left alone. Maybe he's writing.tripledigitken - 3-23-2011 at 11:02 AM
While you're in a photo thread on ospreys, why not post one?DENNIS - 3-23-2011 at 11:03 AM
I don't have one, but I'll give you one I wish I'd taken.

Bird should have been offset to the left, so his gaze has somewhere to go. Little noisy too. You should be able to take a better one with either the
canon or the leica.

Still need an Osprey. The shot wouldn't be the same without one.jbcoug - 3-23-2011 at 11:43 AM
I noticed in Rogers original picture that the birds were obsorbing enough electricity from the power lines to make their eyes light up.
