There were two Bald Eagles perched about 500 feet (150 meters) from this branch so I was rather surprised to see a Osprey land.

I only noticed him because he had been calling as he circled around.

He didn’t stay long, made a steep drop…

then flew up the Ashley River.

Really nice shots of a wonderful bird!
Thanks, Sam!
