06/30/2007 - Lee Metcalf NWR

This is a rather large gallery, but the Ospreys put on quite a show for me, and I couldn't resist sharing it. The sequence where the adult Osprey brings a long stalk of something to the nest, and ultimately drops it, is priceless. And the hunting sequences amaze me as well. It was quite hard to follow the diving Osprey into the water...I only caught the splash.

NWR_0001.jpg is NICE, Kevin. You composed this well. Sometimes I like to throw a single rock into a pond like this to catch a few, circular ripples in my photo as well.
