#3 seems almost like a gymnast pose. That and the wing angles and the feather patterns make it my favorite.
Thank you very much, Elvis!!
I was really hoping that the baby would dive into the lake and practice hunting. I've seen babies do this at a different location but it was impossible to get somewhat close for a decent shot. Here I was perfectly positioned and waiting for that dive and the juvenile osprey just sat there and then flew back into the nest.
OSP - two excrement shots alone should get people's vote. Kidding aside, these are a great set of images. Hoping to approach this level of quality in an upcoming trip to Florida.
