Found an Osprey nest right by the side of the road, and only about 30 feet high. It certainly didn't like me stopping the car by the side of the road. It took off out of the nest and kept circling around checking me out, giving me the "EVIL EYE". Only about 20% crop. Still no fishing and some more practice needed.

Comments always appreciated....:D

Is this the Osprey on Ridel? Is so when were you there? I was taking shots of a female on Ridel this morning around 09:00 A.M....beautiful animal. I saw the male as well ( with a fish) but my shots of him did not come out as well. Nice one and that is quite the look you are getting.:D

What a contrast between the blackness of the bird and the deep blue sky. Wonderful shot.

Thanks Gary; We must of just missed each other; had I known you were going I would've stayed around. I was there for only 1/2 hr (Between 07:00 - 07:30). Lucky you; getting the Fish Action..:evil:

Thanks Mitcon; Sindri; Tony; & Keith; Dan & Fee; Much appreciated..I have to learn to be more patient; and THINK of what I'm doing...

DDA I should hide under my desk before he sees me
Great shot!

Thanks DDA; no matter WHERE you hide; this guy will find you..;)
