A last visit to Island Beach State Park before we get ready to leave for Acadia National Park in Maine. The ospreys were very active and the “bunker” fish were running. The ospreys were returning with fish all day long. One even seemed to show off his catch by passing directly in front of me several times before heading to the nest.

She was not happy with the scraps he brought her.

Thrilled by every one, Ray — and wishing you and Sharon happy safe transition to your Maine life. I look forward to first news of kayaking! bon voyage, c
You enjoy the summer also, Carolyn. I will stay in touch.
Excellent Ray. I wonder if the nest on the tree in Spizzle Creek has any viable eggs? Looking forward to seeing your photos from Maine. Hope you will stop by our place upon your return! Safe travels.
Hope so too. One seemed to stay with the nest at all times.
This is where I wished I had taken you on one of your trips to NJ. Note he is leaving here to go to Acadia…. :)Jill
Very well done, Ray. Have a good stay up in Maine and hope you are able to capture more great images.
Thanks, Ken. Have a great summer.
