That's in your BACKYARD, and you just now noticed it?? I was *gonna* vote to let you be in the club, but then you said "birding is boring..." so I'm changing my vote. Birding is not boring--it just requires an enormous amount of patience. 30 minutes is nothing to a "real" bird photographer. I've waited hours and hours before, and sometimes gone back to the same spot for several DAYS even though nothing exciting had happened, because I knew it was a good spot and sooner or later, I'd get rewarded. I will grant you however, that sometimes, the wait can be nearly as fun as watching paint dry. Nearly. Especially since it's not like you can just pass the time reading a good book--you gotta be watching, and ready for "The" shot. I've taken my sister with me a couple of times. She loves photography, and loves birds, but pretty much agrees with your assessment, bird photography is boring. But, oh man...when the exciting stuff happens, it's worth ALL that waiting!!
I used to do that a lot. I got so sick of sorting through 20 of the same poses that I have learned to take a couple of shots and then move on.I will take 100's of shots of the same thing in the same pose in the same position (dumb, da dumb dumb).
Sounds like Bird photography is in the same category of excitement as fishing or hunting. With that said...the more money you spend for a fishing or hunting trip, the more exciting it is.

Runnah you just have to learn when the osprey are at their busiest and observe them at those times. I envy your location and the fact that you have the ability within your own back yard to watch the wonder of the birds fishing. That's pretty cool!
