This Osprey was perched high up on a tree just off of a trail I was on that followed along the edge of a lake. I watched it for a while and waited for it to take off. It’s very hard waiting for a bird to leave its perch because sometimes it can be quite a while. As time ticks on I start thinking to myself that I could be missing some other action or missing good light while just standing around.
But luckily the Osprey did take off while I was waiting. It swooped straight down and then broke to the left behind a bunch of trees so I had to run to the other side to see where it went. It was on the far side of the lake but then started to make a U-turn. It was flying eye level to me and slowly made its way back my direction so I snapped bunch of pictures as it flew by, just before disappearing behind the trees again. I think this is a pretty unique shot of an Osprey.
