Photos by Rich Zywiak on the Birds of Prey Facebook group.

These were taken in June of 2021, but I figured that a few of you may have never seen an Osprey flying on a broom. She took it up to the nest where it still sits. I like to imagine that she took it off of some old woman's porch but I'm not sure where she got it. Taken at Kendall Yards, Spokane, WA at the top of the Spokane River gorge. There are 2 osprey couples that have returned for the last 4 years to mate and raise their kids. I'm looking forward to seeing them soon. I really enjoy this group and the knowledge you all share with each other. This is why I love wildlife photography so much, you never know what you'll see!

Awesome shots! As someone who also lives in Osprey nesting territory this doesn't even remotely register as strange to me ๐Ÿ˜‚

Why grab one stick when you can grab a whole bundle?!

Glad you like it!

Leave him alone, he needs to get to Hogwarts with that important delivery before the big game.
