p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Three Raptors

While visiting Centerport Bay to photograph eagles, I see many other birds. One sighting was this osprey who caught a fish very far away and then flew over us and a red tailed hawk tried to steal the fish. The osprey quickly showed the hawk that it was out classed leaving the hawk in empty blue sky. Later I got to photograph the mother eagle as she flew in circles near her nest. One of those images was taken nearly directly into the sun.

Nicely done Morris. That is one large fish in the talons of that osprey. Good job with all of them.

Hi Tom,
I've been known to sleep when I'm not awake.

Thank you

Thank you Louie,
I believe that's a Manhattan. The osprey seem to be catching a lot of them this year

Morris, Without question, IMHO, the #4 eagle shot is the best. Exceptional detail, nice pose, and eye level (more or less).
