Thank you very much, jimcrna. I waited about a half-hour. The two pictures were about 5 seconds apart.

Great series and a spectacular catch. I love photos of birds fishing, especially when they are successful and have their catch.

Great shots. I do shoot ospreys like you do. If I may suggest...try aperture at wide open...@400mm there's practically no difference in DOF between 5.6 and 11, you're just paying for the low Tv and higher ISO for little DOF gain. Also you'd be better off shooting at 1/2000 to get sharper pictures.
There are a lot of DOF calculator online. Here is one:

I tried your scenario - @400mm and 150 feet away, I had to use 5DIII because 5DSR is not listed. I don't think the difference is that much between the two cameras.
1. @ f/5.6 DOF is from 143 ft to 158 ft so you have 7ft in front and 7.5 ft behind your focus point in focus.
2. @ f/11 DOF is from 137 ft to 166 ft so you have 13 ft in front and 16 ft behind your focus point in focus.
The osprey is at most 5 feet across so either f/stop will have the bird in total focus - you don't need to use f/11.
