This was a real treat on my visit with Andrea, to go with a small group to photograph the resident nesting Osprey - there was supposed to be a five day old chick in the nest, but it was too small to make an appearance.

Earlier in the day, in the midst of the Watsonville farmlands, a couple of barn swallows sat nicely for the camera

Great shot of the male osprey. Don't know how you did it, most of the time they just "sat there"
