Osprey

[alloutdoors]

I was out in the kayak again this past Sunday morning when this guy flew by. He was at a bit of a distance but I managed these shots. I would have liked to have gone after him and gotten a bit closer but I had promised my wife I would be home at a certain time to watch the kids so had to settle for these.

For those of you interested in raptors, watch this webcam video of a Bald Eagle taking a nestling Osprey.

Very nice pics! We have a lot of Ospreys around here. Two years ago we had one nesting in the town ballparks on a light tower and an eagles nest as well. I watched them all summer long during baseball season. One day I watched the osprey dive bomb the eagles nest repeatedly. They would all come flying in with fish from the river.
