“Don’t Give Me That Look!”

Yesterday afternoon this osprey flew right over my head and gave me a look which I didn’t particularly care for.

It sure could be worse though, I would hate to be a fish and peer up through the water and see this bird glaring down at me with that look on it’s face!

Heyyy! You finally have one for the season. They’re all over our place this summer and are thriving! These birds are the best fishers of all, and their family dynamics are amazing. Happy to see you Mr. Osprey; Mr. Phil is a great friend ;)!

  We see them all day long from the beach working the ocean just past the breakers. Sometimes they will come into the marsh like this one. Thanks for looking!

  I’m not sure why the osprey was so interested in me. Maybe he didn’t like me pointing something up at him! 🙂

  I din’t think I looked anything like a fish and I’m also not in the water. Maybe he did not care to have something odd pointed up at him. 🙂

    Hello Phil!
    Yes, I enjoy so much this stunning shot. It inspired a booklet of ten poems in my mind. I would like to ask you for permission to use this photo as a pairing with some of my poems in my blog or in my site (http://kristelsaintcyr-poesie.fr). Of course I would insert a link to your blog in the Credits.
    Have a nice evening!
    Kristel

He was taking quite a pointed look at you. Guess it’s good you were neither a little fish, nor had one in your hand! Great photo, and such a beautiful bird. (still keeping everything crossed that some spoonies show!)

  Even though I look nothing like a fish and was not in the water, he still kept a close eye on me for some reason.
  Still no spoonbill sightings after that one afternoon. Guess they moved on.
