On April 17th I went to Murphy-Hanrehan again but this time I barely even got out of my car and mostly ended up watching some Osprey in their nests. Murphy-Hanrehan has multiple nest spots up for them. Anyway I managed to get some cool Super slowmo video of an Osprey landing on it's mate in the nest then briefly taking off and landing in a different spot again! It takes so much effort for them to take off because of how big they are that's why those nests are up high so they can just just "catch some air" under their wings normally. I also got my first butterfly photos of the year I saw a Mourning Cloak which has a pretty purple and black pattern on it's wings!

When I got home I took some more photos too and a Robin came to take a bath and splashed around in the water :) I also got pictures of both the Male and Female Brown-headed Cowbirds who have only recently been at our feeders again
