I shot this osprey as it was hunting along a FL shoreline last spring. The sunlight bouncing off of the shore and water acted as a reflector to fill the underside of the bird.

Cool shot - I love the way the head is angled down in complete hunter mode.

Thanks for the support, guys! But I have been here since August!!! :D

Okay, I did have a lapse in participating over the last couple of weeks because of a lack of time so I guess your reasoning is understandable.
I'll try to be more consistent down the road. :D

Happy New Year!!
