Hi I was out at one of the state parks today looking for Ospreys, I came accross this guy having lunch, after he got used to me being there I got almost directly under him about 12 feet away, I could hear the fish tearing when ever he took a bite and when he finally finished and dropped the tail it landed about2 feet away from me.

Excellent captures. In #1, he figured out right away that he couple peck your eye out if you tried to take his fish. After that, he ignored you. :D

Here's a couple more, a little while after eating he flew off and came back with some seaweed presumably to line the nest with.

I'm stunned that a raptor would let you get that close, even when he's feeding. Very nice...

Super captures, It is hard to image being that close during a meal.
