Description
I figured I'd get away from the sunsets for a while and post something else Pine Island is well know for ...its wildlife. Particularly its ospreys. There are quite a number of them living there and it was fun to watch them hunting and catching fish.
This one is taking a break on a gate constructed at the base of a private pier. The signs seem a little silly with all of that open space behind.

That's cool!! Very nice capture! :)
really wonderful !!!
love the graphics of the gate and grating
Interesting gate, how is it blocking you from the ocean though, lol I would just walk around it, the bird doesn't seem to be paying much attention to its message either.
superb capture!!! very surreal mood
Interesting photo...Those birds look so cool when hunting!
The osprey definitely canbnot read the signs :-).. Wish I was able to come this close to such a beautiful bird..
well caught.
Great picture - perhaps the osprey is moonlighting as a security guard? You wouldn't argue with that beak! 8-)
superb capture!
Perhaps the signs would better state "Stay in". Pine Island,..Cheri and I were there in March, I love it there, and the people. I have two aunts and uncles who live there almost half the year. There was a nesting pair just down the road, Cheri tried getting a few shots, especially when they were feeding the young ones. I don't think they turned out very well though, too far away! Beautiful bird, captured in an almost comprising situation, good thing that mans laws and wishes don't pertain to nature!
These gates have their own personal guard. Lovely with its simplicity.
Love the irony of the gate. Great looking osprey. Dana
Kinda like a feathery sentinel, but slightly weather beaten ! Paradoxical capture Kort ! ~Cheers~
awesome capture! I would love to see one in the wild
Maybe the osprey posted the sign... :D
Excellent surrealist picture.
I find it amusing that he sits upon a sign saying to keep out! He certainly calls attention to it. A gate to where?? lol
