Sitting on the nest

This osprey was dutifully sitting on the nest as the sun came up. It seemed to be having a bad "hair" day!

Excellent capture. Looks as though you are in the nest as well. What a thrill to get this shot. FAV

I want a 500mm! This is so up close and personal. Tripod?

[Kerry McCarthy]

@jgpittenger This is handheld at 1/800 sec. The lens has vibration reduction which helps a lot. This is cropped in too.
