Captured some of the Osprey bringing takeout and setting up their nests for the season at Prime Hook.

Excellent series David. All look very sharp. #1 and #2 are let down a bit by the amount of shadow on the bird, but great angles. The light and detail on the spread wings on #5 make it my favourite; not much left of the fish though. An outstanding image.

Thanks Alan.

Great shots. Just love that Northern Cardinal. We did see them in Hawaii, so a well spread bird...

Thanks Mark. They're pretty distinctive birds.

Very nice. I like looking for Ospreys when I'm near the coast. 4 and 5 are my picks.
Nice colours in the Cardinal.
