Same nest shot at 2 different elevations......

[EricD]

Leaving for Costa Rica Friday morning so i thought I check out my favorite Osprey nest. First shot is just above nest level, the second shot (I lowered the stilts..LOL) was slightly below eye level.
Faces only a mother could love!

Love the pics man. . .Where are you heading in Costa Rica??

 

[eriqalan]

They are both great shots - what lens (length)?

Beautiful!

It could just be the photo, but one chick looks much healthier than the other.




I have seen and read about the struggle for survival of chicks in a nest.

Actually the one chick was born three days after the first. Mom seems to feed them equally!

I used a nikkor 200-400MM F4, ED,IF,VR lens

Again, great shots! I can't wait to see your tropical bird images (especially hummers).
