Osprey 284 come right to heading 090 and prepare for landing

July 29, 2014 by Tony Leave a Comment

This male osprey and its mate were at a nesting platform just south of Grand Teton National Park on July 18, 2014. Both gave me one heck of an airshow as they flew around, taking off and landing from the nest multiple times. While the pair had clearly made their home, I did not witness any little ones so they may not have had a successful mating season.

How can you tell the difference between a male and female osprey? Females usually have a ‘necklace’ across their white breast while males have none.  The main image here shows a female.

Scroll down for more pics of these osprey and others in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
