Osprey in flight

The “real” final picture from our stop at the sanctuary. Seems that ospreys are all over this area.

*****

We stopped at Virginia’s Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary, which we’ve passed many times on the parkway, to see what was there. It’s not an easy place to navigate and isn’t really set up for viewing anything, but we found a few openings on to the water and saw some great egrets and a few other birds along with dragonflies and other insects.

Great in-flight capture. I still haven't worked up to that. Too hot here even for the birds. Great shot! V
