Love the 2 species interaction of the last shot. The little peregrine challenges the "goliath" osprey.
Does this happen very often?

Excellent, Herb. Always enjoy your peregrine posts. I notice they have quite a few bands on their ankles - do they toss someone out of a plane with a wingsuit to try and catch them?

That Osprey looks like its hitting some major air brakes - great capture!

Gero

Thanks so much Gero. New Jersey had less than 30 peregrine nests ( compared to over 160 bald eagle nests) last year so we like to keep track of their progress and nesting success.

Great series - thanks for sharing. The "look" in #4 is great, but seems just a touch soft? Due to the extender, maybe?

It appears reasonably sharp on my monitor. The higher iso or tele could have attributed to softness. Thanks for the comment.

Very nice set, Herb. The last one gives a good idea of the size of these birds.
Enjoyed the series. Now I'm going to enjoy some whiskey on the rocks

Socrate

Thanks Socrate. The male here is a bit smaller. I'm sure the female would size up better to the osprey.
