This is the same osprey, but the picture is from the other side of the pole. The distance is a little bit greater, but again, he seems to be watching the river. As we were to learn, initial perceptions can be wrong.
The image is a little dim because of the brightness of the sky. The picture was taken using a cell phone, which automatically dimmed the image as the picture was taken.
A cool find Rex. They are amazing birds.
Ospreys are one of the critters we keep an eye out for.
