I haven't seen a swarm of Osprey at Ft. De Soto quite like the one I came across last week at the pass at the north tip of North Beach . At one time there were about 30 osprey in the air fighting and hunting, and bout 1 in 5 birds flew directly over me after they made a catch.

Jason,

Excellent flight shot. Having the fish raises it up a another notch.

Perfect! I especially like the sharp wing tip feathers. I wonder how the fish get ospreys to take them up for little rides like this? :twisted:

First thing I noticed here is the eyes. Full of life. Awesome shot, Jason. Fish is a nice bonus too.
