Great shot of this one! I love watching them soar! We've a couple that nest near where I work and I look forwar to them returning to their nest.
What a wing span, he glides so effortlessly. Gorgeous creature. Great capture.
Splendid shot Dana, a wonderful POV, gorgeous work!
Great shot! And thanks for the information; I didn't know their sex can be identified in that manner. I've gotta read those books more often!
Nice shot its always difficult to get detail in flying birds, this one looks a bit like the Red Kites that we see around here, my friend was lucky to see one drop in on a pigeon in her garden , the pigeon was not so lucky though.
Wow...really exceptional shot of such a beautiful bird. One of my favorite birds of prey.
Bella cattura , Dana , ho avuto la fortuna ,una settimana fa , di vederlo all'opera nei suoi tuffi in acqua per artigliare la preda, spettacolare ! Beautiful capture, Dana, I was lucky, a week ago to see him work in his dives into the water to claw their prey, spectacular!
Excellent shot Dana!!!!!
fantastic capture!!
Magnificent bird...great capture!
Wonderful capture!
Looks like he is on the hunt, nice shot. How common are Osprey in FL?
Great capture! I love in-flight shots. :)
A beautiful capture :)
WOW in zoom is amazing, fabulous to see all the wing span, you could almost touch him!!!!!
fantastic capture great shot
Wonderful capture my friend, nice shot.
Cool capture of the avian, seeking its prey down below, Dana. I'm amazed at the stunning six foot wingspan of these and similar waterfowl.
Ospreys are among my favorite birds, so much so that I named a class of starship after them, but the world has yet to read of "Osprey class cruisers" but hopefully I'll get my act together and finish the piece of fiction inspired by those birds. Since I love those birds, there's no way I'd fail to like this picture! The details are amazing, especially zoomed. I particularly like the faint whispers of light shining through the wing feathers. Brilliant!
Oh yeah, zoom is a must---what a great shot--wow!!
Majestic! very good capture of that bird!
Wonderful capture!
