p.1 #1 · Another Osprey thread

The Pelicans and Ospreys are competing for the attention of local SoCal photographers of late.
Please forgive my long-winded post here. But, I finally got an Osprey to face me head-on so I'm kind of stoked about this.
#1 The start of some heavy lifting.

#11 Finally getting some air.

#13 Time for a "victory lap".


	http://www.pbase.com/fwyflyr/image/119442002/original.jpg

#14 Carry-out fast food. That's what I'm talking about!

#15 The End.

Wow Ken! That is one fantastic series - How many holy grails do you have now

? Great job on this one - I like them all. It's fun to see the progressive shots as the bird struggles with its prize.

Awesome sequence Ken!
If I had to pick a favorite it might be # 12. I'd sure like to see a larger one of these.
Very nice.
