A tough shot for me with my ‘fake’ neck. These shots give all the credit to the OM ‘Bird Tracking’ and continuous focus system. I could hardly see the bird over head.

The fish were jumping all over and the Osprey circled nearby. I thought he would dive in front of me, but no he drifted off and caught one where I couldn’t see him.

An Osprey is about 2 feet tall, with a 6 foot wing span. A diving bird can drop from upwards of 130 feet. I’ve only captured that series once or twice. It’s timing and location.

Another photo series is a Bald Eagle stealing a fish from an Osprey. Again hard to capture. Around here I’ve seen Eagles just circling and watching an Osprey, waiting to steal a fish.
