When you come up the Champlain Canal and get to Fort Edward, look at the
telephone pole by the side of the road 100 yards south of the Crocker's
Reef Guard Gate.  There is an Osprey nest on that pole.  The nest is easily
visible to passing boaters.

Here's my webpage with some of my better photos of the birds in that nest:

Beautiful pictures, Fred. It takes quite a lot of patience and talent to
capture such moments.

I presume you use a tripod and what, a 150-400 mm lens ? Or did you "zoom
in" some of the pictures ? Nikon or Canon ?
