Getting ready to go fishing

One last osprey capture, taken in a completely different part of Piscataway National Park than my other pictures. There’s a wetland area with an elevated walkway running through it where we were told raptors come to fish. Sure enough, this osprey was sitting high on a tree and then made several dives for fish, one of which at least was successful. Unfortunately, I didn’t capture the dive because a couple had stopped to talk to us, and so my back was turned. Next time I’ll pay more attention.
