    Spotted this osprey having lunch today. Was out shooting with my friend Mark Hollister. This was taken with my Nikon 70-200F 2.8 with a 20E III 2x teleconverter and heavily cropped.

    I shot this today and Google maps measures the distance from me to the subject as 900ft away. This also has a pretty good crop on it. Nikon D7000 with the Tamron using a tripod.

    Getting the pose just right when they are way up in the sky is a little more challenging than when they are on the ground. Taken hand held.

    I think I captured that special moment for our Osprey at Gulf Island National Seashore Park today. Shot handheld with a big crop and I'm guessing that I am about 1200 ft away.

    Another shot of the osprey. Marilynne, I just want you to know that I had this wild idea to do my Doctor Dolittle thing and see if I could really talk with these osprey.
