It was a busy week for me &#8211; work was the usual craziness, and then in the evenings Tricia and I spent our time getting prepared to have 11 guests for Easter. So, I got out less than I usually would at this time of the year. The thing about it though, when there is a lot going on in my life like this, I enjoy birding just a little bit more when I am able to get out. I walked Winding Waters Trail at Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge early this afternoon, and boy did it feel good to be out and walking a trail on a gorgeous day like today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing says happy Easter like an angry looking Osprey. Okay, maybe I can think of a few things, lol.  Anyways, it&#8217;s the time of the year when we get our first of the year for so many birds, so here&#8217;s a couple of shots of my first Osprey of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-768x615.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-2048x1639.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-1200x960.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Osprey at Walton Lake, 04\/08\/23.~ <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/040823-OSPR-4.jpg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Good looking bird.
