I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
Earlier this month I saw an osprey swoop down and pluck a fish out of the marsh pond. In the background of the first shot you can see, to the left of the group of wood storks, a “cinnamon head” avocet in breeding color.


Wow great shot Phil, I love these birds so much fun to watch swoop down and catch their food.
Thanks TJ! I appreciate you kind comments!
Nice catch…..for the both of you. Oh to be capturing an image of the Avocet!
Thanks for looking Ricky!
Great picture! We have two nesting right now at our plantation. I have not seen them fish yet, but we do have two new babies!
Wow! cool to see nesting adults with babies! Thanks for checking out the pic!
You are welcome! A couple of weekends ago, I finally got to see the adults fishing in the river. It was so cool!
