I really need to catch up on PP... especially since I want to get ready for my new baby. (no, not that kind, the 400-800mm kind) so here are some from a recent outing with the 200-600mm. Some of these are heavily cropped, and shot in crop mode to start with... so yeah, looking forward to the new baby.
This osprey seems to like to go saltwater fishing, then return to his favorite eating branch by my creek to enjoy breakfast. It's been a few times now that I've found this osprey here, I hope it's a ritual he continues.

Some more natural framing... this black crowned night heron was in deep shadows, but I think it was a nice change from blazing sun.

I'm used to catching them fishing, but this time he just wanted a drink... it was hot already and the day wasn't even started yet, just warm morning light.

Just a wonderful set Eric. I fell in love with Osprey on my first trip to Florida. Love the rabbit and his backlit ears Love the night Herron and butterfly and dragonfly as well. Beautiful rich colors. TFS.
