I guess that's true with most locations. We have things here that we don't even notice anymore that people would go to great lengths to get a picture of. The Hoatzin comes to mind. They are all over out with the Achuar people, and because they don't eat them, they are relatively unafraid. I'd love to see an osprey. For now your picture will have to suffice :-)
It is the next town over, but osprey are honestly a dime a dozen in my own town too. They are usually too high up to really monitor casually.
Great catch Machi. Is it close enough to home you can monitor the nest activity?
