Voters: unfortunately, if you can't see it, you can't vote for it. We have always warned all contestants not to move their photos within their accounts. It seems that this has happened. I will of course investigate.

Why Thank you all!
The nest where the female osprey is raising her chicks is in the center of this Google Map view - A telephone pole with nest platform on top, shows as a little whitish dot.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=20636&ie=UTF8&ll=38.33266,-76.456947&spn=0.002449,0.003535&t=h&z=18&iwloc=addr
She has people walking under her nest all the time, but after her chicks hatch ... she'll aggresively try to drive off anyone who pays any attention to the nest by looking directly at it, or pulling out a camera with a long lens
She's one of my favorite subjects because she has a habit of making strong eye contact. I was fortunate enough to finally catch her almost directly overhead with the sun low enough so she wasn't totally dark underneath.
This is a shot of her on an earlier pass, that I almost entered instead ... but the eye contact was too good on the one I eventually chose.
What an icy glare.
