I like your osprey better than the V-22 mechanical one.

Saw a bunch of those monsters when we were in the Florida Panhandle last fall.

Awesome birds.

As a side note, they are trying to be re-introduced here in S.E. Michigan. this past summer while playing softball, I observed a local Osprey “fishing” in the pond next to the diamond I was playing on. He made 3 dives before he eventually left the area.........that was really cool!

Great shots. I always enjoy photographing these guys. They can almost always be found at large Arizona lakes and ponds. In the mountains around here, you often see them competing with Bald Eagles. I’ve got to see a few very cool air combats over a big trout one or the other has caught.

We have had a Pine Siskin on our feeder the last few days. Just passing through I guess.

Great osprey shots, Island7!

I don't have as much lens, but I keep myself amused. Here are a few:


Black-bellied Whistling Duck (the first recorded occurrence in my East Tennessee county)


Eastern Bluebird


Pine Warbler


Ospreys


Bald Eagle


Bald Eagle with fish


Great Blue Heron silhouette


Northern Flicker Courtship Rituals

Great action shots.

Just so happened to see an osprey today as well. It was on its nest atop a power pole about a dozen miles north of Marysville, California.
