Osprey

I went to John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge on Tuesday. I saw a few birds that were new to me - I'll send these out later. The most fascinating bird was the Osprey. There were three flying around looking for a meal. They hover over the water like a helicopter and when they see a fish they dive straight down, with a splash! I watched this process several times and was fortunate to get many more shots that you would care to view. Here’s a few - probably too many - but they are so beautiful!
