A series of images showing an Osprey nest on an Osprey Platform along the Wildlife Drive at the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. All images were taken handheld @ 600mm with a Tamron 150-600mm lens on a Canon R. Some images are cropped to show more detail of my distant subjects. The Canon R Raw files have very little noise with a lot of clean detail when shooting “Raw” files which gives me a lot of opportunities for severe image cropping for getting even closer to far off Bird images .

Wow, stunning captures and still showing much detail!
Thanks so much Greta! They were fun to photograph! The Canon R raw file produces very nice & clean detailed images!
Nice details, Reed. That meat-hook bill is well adapted to tearing their catch of the day!
Yes! That bill looks like it is well designed for eating the catch of the day!
