Osprey With Fish

I used to live close to this small Nature area in Northern NJ. It was about 100 acres with a small lake and walking trails. With the small lake you could get some good photos of Ospreys fishing there in early morning and evening. The most Ospreys I saw there flying at one time was 5. You still needed a fairly long lens to get close images of them by or in the water.

Nice action! My favorite is the second with V-wings reflected in the water.

  Thanks! It was one of my favorite local photo spots by my old home. Small enough to be fairly close to get good shots, but big enough to see a wide variety of wildlife!

Doubly cool to get those great reflections along with the ‘diving-in’ shots!
