December 10

Osprey at Lake Murray

I stood near the tree for over half an hour, but the Osprey would not fly away.
Same thing happened to me at Santee Lakes yesterday.
That is one reason why I don't do more bird photography.

1/640s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso200 full exif

Walter you have the art of stalking down to a too finer limit. Ha Ha

excellent capture of this majestic osprey! V

You need to track the little ones. They're much more active!

Sometimes patience does't pay off.
But, I'd rather get a shot like this than
the ones I get when the birds fly away before
I can even raise the camera!

Well, it is a nice profile shot, although it would have been nicer to catch him hunting or flying or something after all that time.

Aren't Ospreys wonderful? Great opportunity to shoot these lovely birds when they don't fly! :) V

Perhaps he has your number and won't give in. Two strong wills! Beautiful perched image anyway with that even blue sky and the mangled branches. V
