Filet O' Fish
Canon 1D Mk III, 70-200 F4L, f5.0, 1/1250th, iso 100
While cruising up the James River on board Oasis, I came across the largest concentration of Osprey I have ever seen. They were everywhere. What a beautiful bird! They are also quite wary of people, so it wasn't easy to get close. I was looking around a lot, trying especially to get a shot of one just snatching a fish out of the water.
But at one point I was just standing in the pilothouse when one of my crewmates looked over my shoulder, pointed and said "hey, what's going on there?" I turned quickly, saw it was an osprey, just grabbed my camera and started firing.
This shot turned out to be about the closest shot I got on the trip. I have been a big fan of birds of prey my whole life. It was fun to see so many in one place.
