TORREY PINES STATE RESERVE

29-JULY-07

"OSPREY WITH A FISH TOO BIG AND TOO HEAVY TO FLY WITH."

JUST SPEND ONE HOUR AND OVER 200 IMAGES OBSERVING THE OSPREY PULLING THE FISH UP TO THE SURF LINE
AND CONSUMING HALF OF IT UNTIL HE WAS ABLE TO TO FLY OFF WITH THE LEFTOVERS.
DURING THAT TIME HE WAS DISREGARDING A GROUP OF ONLOOKERS
AND JOGGERS WHO PASSED BY VERY CLOSE TO HIM.

Canon EOS 20D ,EF 400 1:5.6 L
1/2500s f/8.0 at 400.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
