Osprey

Over the last few years I have photographed an Osprey maybe 4 or 5 times. They have always been from a distance and generally not great photos. We were hiking the bike trail at Farrington Reserve one day this week when Teresa sa thisn Osprey. She was in a tree where we have often seen Bald Eagles. This was a special opportunity as he was feeding and we watched him fly over the river, catch lunch, and dine in a nearby tree. How cool (unless you were a fish in the river).

Fierce Stare

Check out that stare .. she didn't fly away either. We were in the car and can't usually be those close. Normally where we see them while driving like this the hawk takes off. This one never left.

Plotting Her Lunch?

I am like 95% sure this is a Red-tailed Hawk but the angle didn't help confirm that. I see a little red in the tail so that is the key.

She sure looks hungry.

A Patient Hawk

It has been a while since we photographed a Broad-winged Hawk. This one surprised me by how long she allowed us to take pictures. We were close and moving .. she didn't take off. Beautiful bird.
