Gigantic Osprey Nest

Driving home one day, I spotted this gigantic bird nest perched high on a transmission tower. I wish the photo was zoomed in more, but there was traffic on this road, and I am grateful for the photo I DID get.

It's an osprey nest made of huge sticks. No delicate twigs and soft, colorful yarn required! An osprey's body is almost two feet long, so you can imagine the size of this nest.

After seeing this photo, my husband was curious to see the nest in person.

When he drove by it, there were two baby birds (BIGGGG baby birds!) stretching their necks high out of the nest, with hungry mouths wide open.

I wish I had seen that --maybe next year.
