We spent a week in San Diego and got back very late Tuesday night. These are all photos taken while we were in California. We stayed on Shelter Island right on San Diego Bay and were walking along the park one day and noticed an Osprey at the nest site. It kept calling and calling and I figured it was probably calling to its mate. Sure enough, the next day we saw two at the nest. I think the male is the smaller of the two and it had caught a fish for breakfast. They were beautiful birds and the nest platform was only about 10-12 feet high so we had a great view with them so close! They had a really neat informational sign posted at the site ... Florida needs to do something like that.
