Thank you Bob! I've always wanted to be able to capture pictures like this...I'm loving to finally be able to do so!

I spied this Osprey sitting in the top of a tree. I was able to park my truck on the road between him and the water. I was hoping if he took off he would fly right over me. I sat there for 45 minutes, keeping a pretty close eye on him & then I started to daydream about having a lens with a longer focal length...so I could capture better pictures of him...you can guess what happened next...yep, he took off and came right towards me, looking straight at me...I'm sure he was laughing as he went by!

This was a surprise capture...I didn't have my shutter speed set high enough and it resulted in the blurred wings...I love how it turned out...albeit unintentional!

Such wonderful pictures - you really are inspiring me to think about getting serious about photography. And I am so sorry one of your flock died while you were away.
Don't feel bad, you can only do what you can do.

You should check out the various wildlife photography competitions there are - you don't even have to compete if you don't want to - but it might give you ideas.
You really are very good and I am so grateful to you for sharing the pictures with us.

We fly out on 10.2 & come home on the 9th.

I don't know why I thought you were road-trippin. Flying definitely way to go. Get there and rent a car,,
Unless you are going for extended time,,,, anything more than a days ride,,,,,Fly for sure.
Maybe my thinking of driving is caused by what still runs thru my veins,, . After 40 years of driving big rigs,,,, cant shake it.
