Non UK Vero beach osprey Florida (end of November)

[russellsnr]

Hi, So going to Florida late November for 10 days and after some searching Vero beach area seems to be a bit of a hot spot for Osprey but it is quite large area so looking for any information as to where best to photograph Osprey, I see a guy called Mark Smith seems to like this area but like most YouTubers doesn't say exactly where unless you pay about $2000 for a two day guided experience, yes $2000 so I've seen. Thanks in advance for any information, Russ.

Where about in Florida are you going? Ospreys are quite common all over. I visit Davenport regularly and there is a place called the circle b bar reserve in Lakeland (Google it). You will see plenty of ospreys there along with a multitude of other birds, alligators etc. It is totally free.

Most of the ospreys will have gone from Florida by then. In the summer they are 10 a penny nesting within a few feet of major highways. You should reach out to the local Audubon chapter to where you are going. Americans are delighted to help. Enjoy your trip!
