Very nice action series Gary. Just curious, what metering mode did you use on these?

Nice shots Gary, those wings are beautiful. Someone told me they seen an osprey back at our local nest, I checked and couldnt see it around, but did see one fly over work today. The smelts are spawning so the eagles and Osprey will be gorging for a week or so.

They actually don't sit the nest consitantly they go fishing about every hour and they carry the fish to a location and eat (Most of the time this is not the nest) then bring what is left back to the nest

Nice shots - there's an osprey tower in a local nature preserve and I hope to get some decent shots this summer myself.
