not an osprey


Had to run to get my binoculars. Who is on our Osprey nest! 


Oh fabulous, a juvenile red shouldered hawk. I quickly got my camera and began my stealth crawl around the outside of the house. 


She was busy preening and didn't notice me. 
But I noticed her yellow foot was always held up and I began to worry.


Then she lost her balance and almost fell to her demise.
 My camera was on burst mode as I clenched my jaw watching this sweet young bird.


She hauled herself back up on the nest.


Sat there for awhile and then just disappeared on the other side of the nest. 
I haven't seen her since.


 I wonder if she'll survive.
