Was headed down to try and get a closer shot of a Heron when I heard an Osprey that I thought was flying over my head but he was perched just above my head in a tree...

Thanks, I was really hoping I could get a few shots from the front of him but I never got the opportunity...he sat and posed in that same position for about 20 minutes or so...so many of my shots were so similar it was hard to decide which ones to keep...the last pic was probably one of the softest ones I took but he gave me a bit of a different look so thats why I posted it.

I wish I was that lucky. Great shots.


Some stuff that says "Canon" on it and a happy trigger finger.

oh and as I am sure you all have noticed that there are some branches in some of the shots and not in the others...I was lucky enough to be able to move about 10 feet to the left and get the unobstructed shots with the clear blue sky

Yeah, it was a pretty tough angle and not to mention I was using a monopod which made it a bit awkard to get the shots(branches and brush were all around me)
