p.1 #1 · The Shad Run is on and so are the Ospreys

Congratulations to David83 for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 3 votes - View Previous Winners

The shad are returning to our river in larger numbers now and Ospreys are showing up by the hour.

Here's a few more than a handful from about 2 hours shooting yesterday evening. I haven't gone through them all yet, I took around 3300 images, but I got to shoot about 15 dives with 10 - 12 birds hanging in the area I was at.

Shot on Sony A1II and 600GM
