Osprey rescue

UPDATE:
 Unfortunately all our efforts failed to save this magnificent bird, despite our best efforts.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to my friends that helped, especially OWL Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society and the  Selkirk Veterinary Hospital in Nelson.
The world is a better place because of caring people like this :)

An assortment of bird photos.

            I love birds & have some lovely photos of them I'd like to share with you:

Osprey on the nest - Kootenay Lake, BC, Canada

Close up of an osprey in a tree in our yard.

Young ducks & their mom sunning on a log... usually there's turtles here, but not today.

A young flicker that was sleeping under our gas meter... when he realized I was there, he flew away :)

We saw so many blue herons at the seashore... lots of food for them :)

Three young blue herons waiting for dinner, close up.

We found an amazing heron rookery near the ocean, these young ones were patiently waiting for their dinner.

It's always a special day when I see a bald eagle.
There's many in our area, but it's still a treat to get a close up.

Photos of garden visitors.

I was hoping to do a "quickie" little post of some photos I've taken this spring... here's the photos, but I don't know how quick it will be :)

Some flowers in my garden :)

Robin, we have so many of them here, I call them my garden
"Drama Queens"  as they are pretty noisey :)

Stellar's jays visiting our patio looking for peanuts.

Stellar's jay- a quiet moment for a noisy bird.

A blue jay- a rare visitor here.

Sun- dog... mid summer halo around the sun.

I love creatures- big, small & even slimy :)

Wisteria in the front yard.

Our magnolia in full bloom.

Azalea in full bloom.

Not sure what kind of humming bird this is, but adorable &
fun to watch although very shy- even with a zoom.

Another robin... this one has a nest in one of our trees :)

Oh deer! How sweet- even if they do eat
most of my flowers :)

Bald eagle...using mega zoom :)

Stellar's jay visiting our little bird bath.

Not sure what kind of bird this is- perhaps a young kestrel?

Nuthatch defying gravity and hiding sunflower seeds
in the bark. I love their little buzzing sounds.

Raven on a post posing for me.

Another blue jay looking for peanuts :)

  I hope you enjoy my photos.
