again, take this as a sign that i'm seriously addicted... just landed from a 14 hr trans pacific flight and first thing i do? go take my camera and lens to the local pond... and BOY! am i glad i did!!!
i think this is an osprey... saw him perched up on a tree and started to fly circles immediately...

i guess i could have done a better job at framing this shot... but damn, i was tired, jet-lagged, and still in awe of this amazing bird...

sadly, the Osprey did dive at the pond, but dumb me, was checking my settings (must remember to have it taken care of before reaching the pond...) i think i shot all this at one-shot AF... and was kicking myself for not setting it before i hit the pond...
anywhoo, back at the duckweed pond, i got a nice shot of the GBH again... i think he knows me by now... i was able to get closer...
