Rocky Mountain Moments

Circling

On the way back from visiting my friend I turned on a country road hoping to find a blip.  I saw an osprey nest so I stopped and got out with my camera.  I could see Mama and two chicks in the nest.  She was obviously disturbed by me being so close and started flying in circles above me and squawking.  So I got a few quick shots and got back in the car and she settled back into her nest.  The Ospreys in the nest that I've been watching near home are so used to people watching them that they are unfazed.  This nest was out in the middle of nowhere and probably doesn't have a lot of visitors so I must have seemed like a threat.
