Ospreys are commonly seen where I live along the Georgia Coast. They have been entertaining us this week by perching on a flagpole and on our weather vane.



One morning I woke up to witness one of our spectacular autumn sunrises. To my delight an osprey was perched on top of the flagpole.


I see a lot of Osrey nest spring through the late summer here in New Brunswick. Pretty and photographic.

Thanks Pam! I love my dolphin weathervane! I’ve had it for many years and this is the first time I’ve seen an osprey perch on it.

Love the silhouette of the osprey with the purplish morning sky. The Georgia warm weather sounds good right now.

Betty, thank you! We’ve had a few chilly nights but it’s been in the 80’s during the day.

Beth, we have several around here too. They seem to have favorite spots to perch. Everyone in town is talking about the one on the bridge that goes over to Hutchinson Island. He’s there almost every day lording over everything in sight. There have been several photos posted of him on FB and on NextDoor, but I haven’t been lucky enough to nab one of him. I love your sunrise photo best, but the one on top of the dolphin made me chuckle.

Suzanne, the ospreys are fun to see. I often see them perched on some of the tall trees on the road into our neighborhood. I drive by huge nests on top of the tall electric poles beside a busy road I drive on frequently. Seeing them at sunrise was a real treat.

What a cool bird to come visit your neighborhood!! That silhouette on the flag pole for your sunrise was a great way to start the day. I’d take that as a good omen. 😀

I believe that after the young have left the nests up north they then head to winter down in your area. Great shots.

Thank you! We have ospreys here year round. Maybe some of the young ones decided to stay here! There are nests all around our area.
