Even on a slow day, I can usually manage a picture or two that I like from a day’s walk at Theler. Considering how many Osprey I’ve seen this year, it seems appropriate on a recent visit that I got this shot of the resident flying overhead with a sole in its talons.
It was even considerate enough to wait for us on our return to the car
and seemed more than willing to pose for us.
I don’t think I’ve ever got a straight-on shot of an Osprey before. The size of those eyes must explain why it is so successful at spotting fish while hovering high in the sky.
The colors are really crisp and beautiful on these shots. It must have been a very clear day- they really pop!
It was — unlike the sky in the last two weeks.
