As I got out of the car this afternoon, one of the ospreys flew into a nearby tree and emerged with a stick. By the time I got down to the nest, Dad was sitting in the nest. I thought to measure the distance on the lens and this photo was taken 60' from the nest.

Both birds brought sticks, on and off for about an hour and a half, before seeming to call it quits. She seems to be doing more than her fair share of the work at the moment (and isn't that true of the human species as well?). Big Hook remained on the nest and was still there when I left.
