Thanks, just lucky I guess.

I would like to add this quote that I think is a very good thing to keep in mind when presenting or posting your work. "A photographer is known by what he shows not by what he throws". ... Quote from Nikon School sometime in the early 1970's.

Osprey coming in for a landing high up in an old dead tree.

Everyone takes one of these shots sooner or later. The bird high up on the electric line on the pole shot.

Thanks Pat, I just found this nest last week and my D90 and 70-300VR are doing a nice job. I will be happy to get my D7000 back with my Nikon 70-200VR f 2.8 and attach my 2x teleconverter for about 150mm more reach and a little better glass.

A pair of mourning doves that I spotted high up in a dead tree while out shooting the Osprey.

Our mourning dove population has decreased somewhat over the past couple of years, ever since a pair of Peregrines moved into the area.

A blue heron and a couple of sea gulls that stopped by to advise me on some recent sunset pictures I was taking.

Great shot. The wings out like that are hard to catch.
