Osprey overhead

Quintana. TX

It was such a thrill to see an osprey sitting on a branch in the water at the side of the road
only about ten feet from our car as we drove through Quintana.
After a while the bird took off and went hunting, I was using the 300mm lens with the 1.4x
teleconverter so was pleased to be able to capture the entire
bird in the frame as it flew right over my head.

Canon EOS 1D Mark II ,Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM

Great shot with an impresive wingspan and eye detail!

Excellent capture, Tricia. Now I know who's using my 300 f/4!
