My Osprey

This is my best (so far) opportunity with the beautiful osprey. This guy (gal?) was a very willing model and he (she?) gave me several different poses as long as I was willing to take images. I am sharing a few of the many I was able to get. I was mesmerized by how close I was able to get to this one without it taking flight. I gave up before he took off. Would loved to have gotten something this nice with teh osprey in flight...maybe next time. Hope you enjoy.

Great Shots! Assuming he is an Adult, this Osprey is a HE. A female would have brown on her chest from side to side (like a brown necklace). thanks for Sharing

Thanks for clearing that up for me. This forum is a place to learn about things outside of the main topic of photography.

If you can do that, you will have accomplished something that most of us just dream about.
