THIS OSPREY MAMA IS ONE TO BE ADMIRED 
Exhibiting such patience with her two babies.


I’ve observed her,
_Spreading her wings over their little bodies,
to protect them from the hot sun.
_Feeding bits of fish so tenderly into their small beaks.
_Scolding with a shriek when one lingers too close to the edge of the nest.

This is  a rare moment when Mama left the nest.
To ride the thermals with her mate.
Did I tell you they mate for life.?

Thanks so much for your comments. I’m still slow at checking out your journals. Spending lots of hours at the nest Knowing it won’t be long before they fledge.
