I am with you on needing to build upper body strength as my 200-500 mm lens is a challenge for me to handhold. Your osprey photo once again shows what I just read about osprey always hold their fish head first. All your photos are good!
-
Wow! and I had just read that osprey turn their fish head forward to have least drag and your photo demonstrates what I read!
-
That's my eventual goal..capture the bird doing something besides flying...acorn in beak, great! Nice capture!
-
I have thought about practicing with birds flying into my feeder and your photo reminded me of doing that... and who knows it may have been your practice too before getting the the conservatory...nice work!
-
From above the eagle, wow! That would be a great place to return to for more photos, if possible.
-
Interesting when we capture an unexpected something and in this case the feather, cool!
-
Nice photo!

Nikon D500 with ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/2000 with 340mmOsprey photo taken with Nikon D500 With ISO 400, f/11, 1/2500 with 500mm.
Both photos taken on different days were with little time to set up! The hawk spent a minute flying over me and the osprey was on a post and then took off so I figured to practice while it flew away. The hawk was handheld and osprey was while using my gimbaled on tripod. -
I love the series of photos you have here and about a bird I saw for the first time in just a few weeks ago.
-
@Cynthia Now that is a unique photo and I would be so amazed while taking the photo at the same time! Nice capture!
-
The color of this entire photograph I love!
-
Fantastic help provided to the heron for the mistakes others had caused the heron. Kudos to the folks who helped the bird too, along with your help. Great story.I saw this recycling bin for fishline just last week and hope to use it in a future story of mine.

That photo is absolutely art...love it!
-
Nice photos. Love these birds!
-
Yes that flyer was closer to the water to then more easily see the reflection. Aren't these herons great!
-
Wow! And did you capture the rest of the story of him eating it?
-
Isn't that a fascinating display for drying their wings? It is amazing how many people do not know these birds do this...I think you have a story to tell.
-
Nice! Everyone's patience paid off!
-
I like the golden light and the bird dark in color. I have to check out what a crab-plover is!
-
Oh that is interesting and creative! Nice work.
