Osprey 02
Osprey 02
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.

This was an early morning shot. The sun had just come up to the left of the frame over a mountain range. The trees in the background would not get the sun’s light until later in the morning so the background remained a bit darker as everything was still in shadow at this time. Since the Osprey was flying towards me it happened to bit in an area where the Sun’s rays were able to shine on it which made the feathers illuminate like this. Unfortunately the Osprey was quite a distance away from me so the bird itself is not super sharp but it’s still a special shot. You might notice other little glowing dots in the photo. When you see things like that it is usually bugs flying around that are also lit up by the Sun.
