Fantastic action. A very difficult situation to capture, the eyes are incredible!

Very nice - he looks like he is staring right down the barrel of the lens.

Nice fly-over! He's got quite the lump of whatever in his talons.

Nice shot, Bill. I like the eye contact and that the bird is carrying the nesting material in its talons instead of its beak.

A great look from the osprey, right on focus. They are such bug-eyed birds they almost look comical. Great shot.

Nice catch Bill, though I agree the crop is a little tight. He is looking at you for nesting material. ;)

He's not happy with you. They are very territorial if you're close to the nest.

Bill,

Beautiful capture. It's easy to add space. The important thing is you did not cut off a wing.

Enjoy viewing
