Osprey

Patiently waiting for the wife to return from her wintering grounds. Taken today west of Bath Ontario.

Handsome fellow indeed! Too bad he is spoken for.

Your admirable Osprey shot shows a bird as frustrated-looking and disheveled as me.
Nice find though.

Beautiful shot! Is the male resident?

Just a guess on my part, they are a little hard to sex unless both the male and female are close when sitting. If flying then it is a little easier to do. Studies do indicate that males generally arrive at nest sites a few days before the females.
