Osprey, Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, Huntington Beach, California
During all my previous visits in the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve people were telling me about a pair of Ospreys that nest in the wetlands, but I never saw them. This time I got a little more lucky and spotted actually two birds several times. This one here was perched on a dead tree, not far from the water. The laguna provides plenty of food for all kind of birds and it is not only the Osprey that hunts for fish. I also saw a Northern Harrier soaring along the shore early in the morning. Unfortunately it hit me a little by surprise and I missed the shot. Well, next time…
