Osprey Fishing Sequence

Posted on June 10, 2018

This is a set of images of an Osprey fishing series. I was photographing this Osprey flying overhead when it saw something and went into a dive to catch a meal. I lost the Osprey in my viewfinder on the way down but got it again as it hit the water. I kept shooting while it caught it’s prey, surfaced and flew off. The final image is when it circled around and flew by me with it’s fish in its claws.

Osprey Diving In…..

Posted on August 22, 2016

I photographed this female Osprey diving in to grab a stick for the nest. The nest was already built, but I guess it was for repairs. I shot this series earlier this Summer, but have been busy with work. I liked the out-stretched talons and the look of concentration as it was going after something. Canon 7D, 400mm f/4 DO lens, Canon 1.4x Series III Teleconverter.

The Osprey kept picking up sticks for a while, returning to the nest, where there were a few chicks.
