Fishing with osprey

We had a rare sunny day last week and took advantage of it with a trip that ended up at Horseshoe Lake in Woodland, WA. Along with the fishermen along the shore there were 5 osprey fishing from above. The speed they can get to makes tracking them a challenge.

Comments and suggestions always appreciated.

nicely done Dave

Very nice series. Really like #2.

Great shots! I like 1 and 3.

Thank you all for the comments. These are beautiful creatures and one would think large enough targets for the camera. I still have difficulty tracking them at 400mm. And in live view for video? Forget it!

Practice, practice, practice.

I've had the best luck setting up on a Perch or Nest and Get shots coming and Going

Very nice Dave, I've not had too much luck getting shots of any of these guys.

Thank you gary, sharon - I find a great excitement in being able to photograph these creatures. And when you don't have to even sneak up on them quietly it's really fun.

Sharon - I've been admiring your smugmug gallery - nice stuff. Are you using a 70-200 with and extender?
