The background, although plain white, blends in nicely with the white colours of the feathers.
Wonderful photos.

Thanks Irene! They are like most raptors and very apprehensive around people. Be patient it will happen.

Thank you so much Joe!

Hey, Barbara. I love osprey. The first shot is awesome. Great angle that shows off the interesting back feathers and nice techs. Next I like the drying out shot. The last one is great position on the bird and nice techs though not a great angle. Overall a nice set.

Dan! I've missed you! Thanks for looking and commenting.

Expertly done, one and all. One of my favorite birds and I've never gotten a single exposure worth sharing.

Nice series! As someone who shoots Osprey all the time I can only tell you that getting the 'fish' shot is not easy. Usually hanging around a nest will get you some opportunities when the parents bring back food for the youngsters.

Thank you Tom! I made it a mission to get a good shot and have had a couple of willing models, which always helps.

Thank you Monte! I don't know that I have ever seen a nest. I will definitely be on the look out for it the next time I find an osprey.
