After finding no Osprey at Osprey park I drove a few miles down the coast to Wertheim Nat. Wildlife Refuge. Got down to the river overlook close to the parking lot. A group of people were leaving so I had the overlook to myself.
Pretty views with the new leaves coming out on the trees.
Scanning the sky I don't see any birds. I look up high and can just make out a speck I believe is an Osprey.
Can you see it in this picture. If not I point it out in the next photo.
Disappointed not seeing a Fish Hawk close enough for a picture I think of leaving when I see one Flying up river. He/She is low enough for me to attempt a shot or two with my new Nikon with a telephoto lens.
This shot is at the max of 300mm
Photo-shopping it, I crop it in the last two photos.
I started taking as many shots as I could before he/she was out of sight' Most were blurred because of the trees I was shooting through.
Only two worth showing. This is the second one which I think came out pretty good after a cropping.
The bird was just flying by as I caught him/her looking back at me.
My aim is getting better pictures of these big guys.....
