There's been an osprey hanging around one of my irrigation ponds. The other day I watched him catch a fish right in front of me - of course no camera! Last night I took my camera when I was changing my water, now I had the camera but the osprey was already done fishing. Cool bird to watch, but at the same time I have a catch-n-release rule for the pond.:mad:

A couple of years ago I had another osprey circling the small pond in my yard, so I grabbed my camera and got a few cool shots - as he got one of the better fish in the pond! I seem to have a penchant for photos that just aren't quite focused, but still surprised I got these pics. I need to get mtmiller or some of the others on here to teach me how to get better focus.:(

Nice shots. I'm sure the osprey appreciates your dedication to aquaculture.
 
That is pretty darn cool! Nother mtmiller in the making!

I had an opportunity to see an osprey nail a trout then an egale slammed / swoop into the osprey, dropping the trout... and the eagle had himself his trout! Most the time I'm in awe of the event to think of a darn camera.

Thanks for sharing! Great pics!
 
Sure looks like some cool pictures to me. I think you did a good job, thanks for sharing. PS maybe you will have to restock your pond:rolleyes:
