All Electric Home

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted April 11, 2010102 views4 comments

I'm not sure if this is the right gallery for this image. This pair of ospreys have chosen to make their home in a very precarious place. I thought about cloning out some of the nest twigs, but showing it like it really is seemed the best option. It's really not intended as scenic, and hopefully will not be tragic.

Great example of how they will utilize electrical poles as nesting sites. This is quit common on Long Island. Nice capture!

Looks like they are living on the edge. Hope it turns out well for their offspring. I like the comp you have here and that you caught the one bird's eye through the twigs.

As long as they don't stretch their wings out too much, they should be fine...

Cool birds btw.

Great security fence!

Nice one. I've heard of a falcon nest in an industrial zone here in Amsterdam, which consists solely of plastic fibres and wires. It's not a nice sight for us nature lovers, but I doubt whether it really makes a difference to the birds.
