Thank you, Bigmike. I was very happy to be in the right places at the right times. I have some helpful resources, but there's still a lot of luck involved. Have a great new year. jak

Fabulous shooting, and remember: Some luck is better than no luck 🏆⭐🏆⭐🏆
Thanks, joecichjr. I'll take all the luck I can get. It's important to expect some of these fortuitous situations to arise when I'm out so I can capture photos when the lucky events occur. Have a great new year. jak

Excellent set, jak! Isn't it amazing after years of experience and good equipment how lucky you can get?

Awesome set of raptor photos. The attacking Osprey look really angry. Some of the best action photos I have seen in a long time. The Osprey and the last Owl photo display awesome sets of talons.

Please report that mischievous cooper's hawk to:
http://www.reportband.gov. You got a good closeup shot of both of the bands and their codes. Possibly some people who are following that bird might want to communicate with some other folks who are following the snowy owl.
I really enjoyed your encounter of the osprey and red tailed hawk as well. I go to Bolsa Chica a lot. There is an osprey platform on PCH just north of Seaview on the last power pole heading toward the footbridge. That's a bit away from Talbot Marsh if that's where you saw the osprey. I live in Laguna Beach and have the same camera setup as you took those shots with. Do you live locally?

Mike, you are so right. The experience and equipment can't create the event that luck allows you to see and record, but if I was standing there, watching, without the camera and without some knowledge and experience in how to use it, all the luck in the world wouldn't create the pictures. Thanks and take care. Happy New Year. jak
