photoartflightOsprey In Tree Sunset
As the sun was setting and the sky was glowing orange I noticed this Osprey in a tree along the Wildlife Drive at J. N. Ding Darling NWR on our way out of the Refuge. I liked the stark dark Osprey & tree silo against the colorful sky. Image taken with 400mm DO lens.

Beautiful silhouette of both the osprey and the tree, Reed. I like the fact that the osprey was position in a way that its shape makes it easy to identify the species despite a lack of color and details.
Thanks Mike! Yes it was nice for the side view to ID the bird. Also their nest was on a platform nearby!
The ospreys have returned to my area and I look forward to getting some shots of them. So far I have only captured distant shots of them flying in the air.
Nice capture Reed!
Thanks! It was a colorful ending to the day!
Super silhouette, Reed.
Thanks Steve! It was a colorful end to the day!
Wonderful shot, Reed!
Thanks Belinda! Sometimes it pays to stay longer as the sun is going down!
Neat silhouette, Reed. The light is gorgeous!
Thanks Eliza! It was colorful!
Spectacular capture, Reed! Well done, I love it!!
Thanks Donna! It was a nice end to a great day at the Refuge!
I love the contrast between the osprey and the sky. Thank you, this photo is simply amazing.
