You've got an incredibly diverse assortment of bird shots, Tom. I am particularly fond
of the Osprey. I note that you use a long lense in your shots in this gallery. You have a few
gorgeous images here. My mistake was shooting into the light initially, but have learned
from that mistake and now do otherwise. My local Ospreys, I believe, have begun to recognize me
and allow me extraordinarily close at Lovers Key State Park in SW Florida.
