Osprey Season

Ospreys have become one my favorite birds to photograph. They are quite different as to the method used for catching fish compared to eagles.

Eagles usually swoop in shallowly over a body of water, braking heavily as they swing their feet down and hook into fish near the top of the water. Osprey cock their wings and plunge in steeply, sometimes completely submerging themselves in pursuit of fish, their only prey. My next post will showcase this approach in action.
