Taken at Belle Haven Marina- two Osprey chicks, Female was shielding them from the sun. We are having out first heat wave. It was 98 degrees when I left the park :-(
Male Osprey arrives with a mid morning snack. next shot He starts to feed the chicks.
the one thing I do love about being back in the wood and out of people range is the opportunity to see animals doing whatever it is they want to do. Sleep, fish, perch and chirp.
It is an honor to spent time in their world.
back in the woody and marsh area of Huntley Meadows a group of grackles bathed and relaxed for a while.
