For the first time in my experience, ospreys have been hanging out at my local marsh this summer, probably because of the higher water levels as a result of a massive wetland restoration project. I love watching the ospreys soaring high in the air. They are generally too far aware for me to capture their high-speed dives into the water, but occasionally I will see one catch a fish. Recently I captured some shots of the various wing positions of an osprey flying away with its freshly caught fish.

That is so cool Mike!
I love to watch them hunt! Not much longer and they’ll be heading south.
It must be a thrill to watch them catch fish!
How lucky to be there at just the right time
Definitely a lot of luck. I saw the osprey dive and initially wasn’t sure if he had caught anything, but started shooting anyways.
