Calgary has been hot and smoky, so I ventured out early this morning to avoid both. The Osprey family on Saint Patrick's Island was front and centre this morning and I was able to take some pictures of them. Three are highlighted on this post. The first was taken after I ventured close to the edge of the Bow River. As I crept up to the edge I noticed this Osprey standing in the water looking a little frustrated at its lack of a catch. I quickly increased my iso in case it flew.

The Osprey flew low over the water as if looking for a catch before it rose up and flew into the trees.

I followed the flight on the Osprey, and it landed in a tree overlooking the river, but not a pose that is unique. Following the path up to the George C. King bridge (Skip-stone bridge), I was able to get low enough to take the picture of three Osprey on the nest with the sun in the background.
