p.1 #1 · Follow the Osprey with a fish

These were taken on a tough day for photography as there was lots of heat shimmy and also smog. I spotted the male osprey on his faverate perch yet the sun was at the wrong angle so I compensated. I hope you enjoy this behavioral set.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris
