The Osprey that Couldn't
Here is an inexperience osprey trying to build a nest.

![P1013326 copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/23u5tEBcFa37kqJcmZ1BQU7eVBEFRRNpE24JMzkXVnEnm3zrbLPiEQMVAaQTWQdWZbtzo.jpg)
I saw a large shadow on the ground and looked up to see this huge osprey carrying a stick to build a nest.



![P1013303.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/Eo46GP6c3Zv5G9x5QUvce5t2gCLA7kgV99R8ZaXUzoGiXyu5UqoipAFqfAibRM9daTz.JPG)
Then I noticed there was a nesting platform off in the distance. So I decided to camp out a bit to watch them.


![P1013314 copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/23tvXrKv1swNo2VBFJ5MwggoUv24zG9SeUt16nTFRnNS53nnHqUUkECNB1ZFd8ABADq1A.jpg)
Then I saw another one show up with a stick. Turns out this is a pair building a nest for this year. 


![P1013319 copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/48PvvogLXwdKPF56YXzQTWCsB63x1r2UXuRn5hw2gCwECvWcqw6y3yrNAaikqKNniU.jpg)
This one that my wife thought was the female brought the branch to the nest quite efficiently.


![P1013320 copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/23ynHbtfh6HXgoJSbhrN5d67TysV3eraRWwGBqNZTcQaEqC8vSTWmfTGkQqakfdTPzGjE.jpg)
It landed and place the branch right where it wanted while striking a nice pose for me.


![P1013321 copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/23ynLAjPcwsGcqYwGQKudWttvwJqHz62vdndWbQHayiZAcDMqnF4nxR2BYRNMYsZmUERh.jpg)
Meanwhile it was looking up at its mate circling around with a branch wondering why he hasn't placed his branch yet...


![P1013310 copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/23yTaqJoK8HsPbsEPDRXdsqGQ4wbA7WskqVhth27MZuM2UgqEbs7rVgQ61grgN8hRBu4N.jpg)
He flew over the nest box over and over again trying to figure out how to place the branch. Perhaps this branch was too weird of a shape and he couldn't figure out how to land with it.


![P1013328 copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/23u5ted9nvTBUcD1Yf2rYHJ2vCAbriMMdNmyMj7b7vXaRZQ7fzMjpDANLPdKcimZFcqWC.jpg)
He did at least five flyovers giving me plenty of shots.

![P1013329-Enhanced-NR copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/23vsDxPgoVtcimWpYmPs7v1YkRnL4mfrvMy8BmnpxtKWZtoanocAFMa1t8DB2TdTa3o1X.jpg)
Still he couldn't figure out how to land while his partner was placing more sticks than him.


![P1013327-Enhanced-NR copy.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/242Xs2TUhZ9GgqSzdM5DQNXZ2KyKn92NxqVbs2gCEzzPDa4iam8wPTiCcofGZ2HF3bWag.jpg)
Legend has it to this day he is still trying to figure out how to let go of that branch.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)

Great shots, love that last one! I'm a bit envious for sure. I've seen some Ospreys here in the distance while driving, but haven't gotten out to shoot them yet. We've got those and hawks that I hear every morning, but not within sight range.

The nest platform was a surprise everytime I've been there it was empty. You need a tiny drone to fly up above hawk nests.

I've only seen them a few times over the years, this was the first time they let me get good shots of them. Next time I'll have to wait by the river to see one catch a fish.

Hopefully he's a better fisherman, I suspect maybe it was his first nest and maybe the other one was older and picked a newbie this year.
