Two other POTN members and I (Permagrin & Puddlepirate44) went to a National Wildlife Refuge today. On the way out we spotted this Osprey:

Very nice shots, I love getting these birds when they are hovering or just "hanging" in the wind.

Hey, isn't it cheating to go to a Wildlife Refuge? Almost looks like a remote controlled bird to me, like perhaps a bird on a wire. ;)

Nice work, bud. Crop it closer. My old eyes are having a bit of trouble.

Nice shots Boris, excellent exposure on those to get the bird and not blow out the sky.
Regards.

Thanks compadre. I'll try a tighter crop and see what happens. Thanks for the feedback!

And, no, smarta$$ a Wildlife Refuge is nothing like a bird on a string! LOL!:p
