The Osprey hadn't mated yet and were settling back into their old nest (now just 500 feet from a big bad bald eagle nest) and the lighting was perfect.

5 commentsThe light is excellent here Luke, my eye wishes for a little more room on the bottom to show more of the nest.
Excellent action, Luke. Looks like we'll be seeing a lot of Osprey shots this year. Large image is superb.
Nate - thanks for the comment. I would have liked to have more nest in there as well, but this being Long Island the nest is on a platform. This nest is quite shallow (last year was probably the first year it was used) and will be built up overtime.
Nice catch, Luke. Good work to get them both sharp. A little more eye contact might be nice, but that's a tall order from two birds.
Nice position on both of these birds Luke. I like the fact you decided to cut off the man made part of the platform nest. We have a lot of the same situation around here.
