The Osprey

 Another large mural at the art festival is this one of an Osprey.



Ospreys hunt for fish and swoop down to grab them. We have quite a few, and here are some photos I took of one.




“To watch an osprey hunt is to witness the art of patience and precision in action.”

we love our osprey and I like the closeup of they head, but the mural is way to busy for my liking. I just see a jumbled mess when I look at the entire mural.

Another impressive mural. You sure have a lot of talented artists in your area. Great pictures of the osprey as well.

I love ospreys - I am not sure if we have them here or not. Probably do. Gee, do all the walls of buildings have artwork on their sides?

We saw one down at the farm not too long ago. They are really very pretty and such good hunters. We watched the one at the farm for a good bit and it was zoomed in on it's prey.

Hi, we had two osprey nesting close by. But all the activity at the school seems to have chased them away. Two large track meets were held, and all the shooting for the starts of the races scared them off.

These are nice photos of the Osprey. They are a unique looking bird. And that art mural is something else. Thanks for sharing these art murals. I always love to see the creative paintings that people have worked on. There are a few in my town too, but nothing like these.
