kr88 Goldmember  More info | Sep 08, 2006 18:19 | #1 I have seen these Ospreys every morning fishing over the harbor. They will make thier unmistakable noises and then hover over the bay. This morning, this osprey came right at me. He had not caught any fish.
I know the wing's tips are cut, but he was coming right at me.   Thanks for looking. Keith

The Ospreys eyes stand out well in both and looks like you are having good weather in Florida. Canon 5D + Canon 20D + Canon EOS 300

Sep 09, 2006 14:36 | #13 Many thanks to all for your comments. I am very lucky to have this spot/parl less than fifteen minutes from my door. The majority of my post are shot here. These Ospreys fish here and almost every morning can be seen bringing in the catch. The reason that they are lowere in the sky is there are trees right behind where I set up. So they catch the fish and head right in over us. This guy was hovering over the bay when I grabbed the shots. For some strange reason, they always seem to look right at us when they are doing thier fly bys.  Keith
