There’s An Osprey In There Somewhere
Yesterday afternoon there was an osprey circling above the marsh pond hunting for a tasty fish. When I saw him dive down and hit the water I was excited to see that, but was not happy that the location would make him 100% backlit.
I banged off a few shots anyway and could immediately tell the osprey would be lost in all that spray from the splash. But I stayed with it and saw that he did indeed catch a fish which he proceeded to show off by flying right in front of me on his way across the marsh.
I knew there was a bald eagle in a tree on the far side of the marsh pond and expected the eagle to come blasting in to try to steal the osprey’s prize. But the eagle never budged so the osprey got to keep his fish this time.

Great action shots ~ the 1st and last shot saying it all. Well done!
Great shots, its amazing the action shots you get…beautiful!
Fantastic shots.
Great series!
Very exciting sequence, Phil. I’m happy to see your Osprey(s) about, as ours never returned to the big lake this year. Not a single one.
Perfectly timed shots. I’m really impressed
Amazing action shots, I really appreciate your patience.
Very beautiful photos! I I made more artistic photography but just take a look if you are curious ! I subcribe !!
Glad the BE stayed away this time. Great action here. He’s a water bird, that is for sure. Love those first three shots for that. And of course the last shots for that fish he caught. Glad he got to keep his catch this time!
Great sequence, Phil. Now we know why he’s called an Os-spray. 🙂
