Osprey and catch

Another capture that I liked by Tim of the osprey with its catch, taken from the walkway between Kingman and Heritage islands in Washington, D.C.

It’s funny – I bought this lens for me because it’s lighter than my superb 80-400mm, but now Tim’s using it ;-). I used the Sony, which is generally OK for everyday kind of shots but is totally unreliable for birds and such (and is much fussier to use than the D850, so I volunteered to use it). I think next time we go out we’re going to rethink who uses what camera and lens!

Nice shot of the osprey with its catch. Love the way the raptor appears to be making eye contact.
