Osprey in action

[Cygnus Studios]

Stopped by the pond to see if anything was happening, and three osprey showed up for a little fishing. Didn't seem too bothered with my presence, and finally one took the plunge.
I didn't catch him until he hit the water, but managed 40 or so pics thereafter.
Amazing to watch them in action.

Fantastic. They are one of my favourite birds to photograph.

Nice captures.

I like the way they just "hang" up there watching the water and then they drop like a stone. Our locals like the corners of our pond about 200+ ft. from our backyard (don't get much even at 400mm on a crop camera). I'll have to see what happens if I walk down their way.
