Osprey Fever! Catch It!

[Harryb]

Hi you'll,

I have taken a very large number of osprey shots recently so I figured I would share a few. Almost all of these were taken at The Tree.

Love your Osprey, #3 would be my favorite.

I wish that tree were in my nieghborhood. Great shots. Is number 5 a baby, or is he just pruning?

Well done, Harry. :thumb :thumb :thumb We have lots of these birds in the area....but do you think I'd ever have a camera when I see them? :dunno

Damn tree!

Great shots, Harry! My osprey left. Probably down there. No loss to me, I couldn't get that close with anything I had.

Supposed to be Eagles and stuff at a park an hr down the road, migrating. I just haven't decided if it is worth it considering my reach, or lack there of.

That stuff of yours is just so damn good. The colors are good this time, too.

Damn tree, I just have to repeat!

Thanks Jeff. I would have gotten some KF shots but it was an osprey kind of day. :rofl

Nice Captures Harry. I like the one with the open mouth the best.:clap:thumb That last bird has kind of a "Goony Bird" expression on his face. :D

[Harryb]

Oh yeah the last one without the "Tree" http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/lol8.gifThanks Ben. That was a real nice osprey. He flew off The Tree and ended up flying to a tree that was lower and closer to me. http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/clap.gif

Are the West Coast Ospreys that cooperative? http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/naughty.gif
