Spitting Osprey

This is the next frame or two past my last post showing the Osprey spitting out the water it had taken in.

I went with more of a pano here as was discussed in my last post.

This image is a dramatic illustration of the power of these birds. I love it's outstretched legs-trying to maintain positive buoyancy. Excellent capture Ron.

Ron, this image and the last one are terrific action/behavioral shots, well done. I imagine this has been recorded before but these are the first images I have seen of it.

I think the pano suits it better, like this one best.
Good job controlling those whites on the head too
