Osprey catches its lunch

I know it’s not sharp enough (still trying to figure out this continuous focus business), but for once one of us caught an osprey in action. I saw it getting ready to dive and splash in the water, as did all the geese that turned to watch. I’m not exactly sure who took this since we both had cameras and both saw it dive, but I’ll say Tim did.

Taken at Huntley Meadows Park in Fairfax County, Virginia, a marvelous wetland, meadowland and forest area about a half hour outside Washington, D.C.

I think focus is fine. The osprey is sharp and that is what needs to be! The other bird is incidental to it!

Fantastic. Whoever took it, the osprey is beautifully focused.
