Osprey Chicks hatched!!

[EricD]

Had to perch my self a bit higher to be able to see down in the nest. baby Ospreys are 3 or 4 days old. I know there are 2 chicks but could be a third. Last year she laid 3 but only 2 hatched.

Nice shots of the chicks. They sure are cute little buggers. I've always liked ospreys, and really enjoy watching them catch fish.

Actually used a jet pack...just kidding.
I have a spot at a parking garage that puts me at their elevation. Usually I photograph the nest from the top floor of the garage but had to stand on the roof of my SUV to be able to get down into the nest a bit.

You dare quite something in order to get your (ever perfect!) wild bird photography!
Wow!
The results are so worth it!
