"Mommy's Home!"

An Osprey Returns to her Nest but Junior is not interested!

Pandion haliaetus

This is a 32"W x 25"T HD Matte Metal

For $535.00

Every spring Ospreys return to NJ to fish along the coasts and in rivers and lakes throughout the state.

There are old abandoned buildings in the Fort Hancock area of Sandy Hook National Park that Osprey like to build their enormous nests upon; and typically every spring they return. 

On June 13, 2020 I photographed the sunrise in Asbury Park...

I then drove up the coast to Sandy Hook to see what the Osprey might be up to.

This Osprey couple made a gigantic nest on the chimney of the house across from the church and there was at least one young Osprey in the nest. Not long after I positioned myself on the lawn surrounding this building, the Mama Osprey returned to the nest in this spectacular fashion with who-knows-what in her claws?! The youngster completely ignored her arrival, so it was probably just more nesting material - like this nest needed any more stuff?!

This image was published in 9 Jersey Shore Local Newspapers in 2020!

As displayed, this 32" x 25" image is certainly a dramatic size. But it can be made any size as long as the Aspect Ratio (Height to Width) is maintained as it really cannot be cropped.

One example is 20" x 15.625" - and yes, we can make the metal any size, even using fractions of an inch to maintain the aspect (height/width) ratio, as the lab we use exclusively can and will custom cut the aluminum however I need it cut. 

One option is 15" x 11.71" for $176.00

Or 20" x 15.625" for $251.00

Or 48" x 37.5" for $1,350.00

Or even 51.75" x 40.00" for $1,554.00

51.75" x 40" is the option for that special sized room or lobby. 

That would be amazing and make quite the statement for sure.

I can help you decide what size makes the most sense for your home or office.

Just give me a call.
