Spread Your Wings!

This osprey (fish eagle) sat on a limb about its nest in Alton Baker Park, while I waited and waited for it to do something! Finally it spread its wings without taking off. I thought this was a nice pose. Shot made handheld. I am so impressed with Nikon's V1.

Superb pose, Vern. The V1 is great! Taking it with me to Mono Lake over the next few days. ;) (along with 1 or 2 others of course)

Nice shot! We are in the midst of a drought here. Ospreys have left for better hunting/fishing options.

Great capture of this Osprey and his pose, well seen. Very good lighting and sharpness. Very well composed photo. Besides this blue color of sky in background gives a nice color contrast here. Wonderful image, very well done. V.

Wonderful shot -- a favorite raptor! You have some great opportunities around there.
Around here they build whopper nests on top of
power poles, usually over a transformer can..
