Today’s early morning encounter with an osprey produced this image plus my new header.
While I was photographing a Spotted Sandpiper, I noticed an Osprey perched on a dead snag in a nearby cove. Once finished with the sandpiper I maneuvered the boat behind cover and approached the Osprey to within about fifty yards before exposing myself. As the Osprey flew past I framed and shot frantically.
As is always the case in these fast action episodes I was left to wonder as to whether I was successful until I was able to view the results on the computer.
