This blog post is for my friend Mudd who wants to see more Osprey photos... so here they are!

Took oodles of photographs of the osprey as they were swirling and swooping around - soaring back and forth over the river looking for fish. It's not easy to get clear focus as they are moving, but some of them came out not badly. Good thing there was nothing else to keep my eye on because I had it focused in the camera viewfinder and  was focusing as they flew. Nothing else was on my mind.

It made for a fantastic morning, and it is moments like this that keep me wandering along the pathways for more.

Oh wow... thank you SO much.

Each and every one of your photos is special in that they all show the "majesty" of the bird. But that last one = priceless! You two were connected for a brief moment... in the zone. And what superb cropping. I LOVE IT.

Only now I'm stuck with that "fierce stare" in my mind... ;-)

lol - I think of it more as intense curiosity than fierceness. If he wanted to be fierce he could have swooped down on me and chased me away. He was definitely looking though - trying to figure me out.
