A Bird on a Stick

I once had a photo editor who believed that the most boring image you can make is one of a bird on a stick. I'm guessing she just didn't have the right bird and stick. Eye contact with an Osprey on a perch in the distance at the San Elijo Lagoon.

Nikon D500
1/1250s f/5.6 at 500.0mm iso400 full exif

Well I definitely don't think it is boring and would have been thrilled to find it and achieve a capture as nice as this. ~BV~

Both are staring. I know what you are thinking. The bird is wondering if I could carry him to my nest... nah
