Aloha,

Breathtaking! As a fisher, I am jealous of the owl. 😀

Regis, fantastic as always. I am very pleased with my Canon L 300mm f4.0 and will start using it more often.

Although the salmon has the muscle power to fight, I'm thinking the osprey won--those talons are huge and dug in! love the water splash, and on double download, it is even more amazing! Your expertise is enviable!

Thank you very much, Carly Sue. The Osprey won, but it was a great struggle where the Osprey almost went under-water several times.
Always good to hear from you. I hope you and your family are doing well.
