Osprey Mating at Coon Rapids Dam

This is about a one minute video taken this afternoon, 4/14/2008 between four thirty and five in the afternoon at the Coon Rapids Dam. It shows the mating and the mating ritual of a male osprey at least nine years old. Note his left wing is damaged from a fight with an eagle about two years ago.

Hi Again Dale. Thanks for your kind words. Yes I took the whole thing with my digital camera. It takes videos at 640x480 with sound and fairly high resolution.

I'm very much enjoying your videos too.
