Fishing

We spied this osprey hunting for lunch. He/she flew from the other side of the river and settled in a nearby tree that was hanging out over the water.
Here's an action shot:

Edit: That link is not working for some reason ... at least not for me. It's today's pic for @poppa.

Edit #2: Here's a link to another action pic of this bird: a href="http://365project.org/poppa/365/2011-07-20">

Many thanks for dropping by.

Awesome detail of the beak and talons!

@buccigrossi Thanks Brian. It's too bad we were playing hide and seek, but better than nothing ... or another quarry shot! lol

Love it! I like that he's partially hidden by the tree branch--adds depth and a sense of anticipation of him taking off after his prey.

Awesome shot! That beak and those talons look deadly!

[Allison Maltese]

Great detail. I like the composition, too, making him look a bit coy.

Amazing to capture this lovely bird!

[Susanne]

Wow, nice job Anne : )

[summerfield]

there is a sense of danger (to others, not the bird) in the way the bird seems to hide but not really. he knows he will win against his prey and he will have his lunch. great shot, anne.

[Trina P Holub]

This is really cool! I like the way he's hidden...you just know he's up to something. :-)

[Ginger Sanders]
