Hard At Work

An osprey lifts off from the marsh pond after missing a fish on this attempt. Ospreys are hard workers though and this one will quickly be back circling the area in search of a meal.

Phil, this is beautiful!! I have to admit that I have a hard time photographing birds in flight. I’m not very good at tracking! I love the intensity in the face of this osprey. Magnificent creatures 🙂
