Ahmad Shah: That is gorgeous, good shot.
BrianMorin: It was early morning and the bird had just settled in for the day. The choice of roosting site is deliberate.

Brockville - Ospreys are pretty run of the mill for us but I won't turn down a good shot when it presents itself. This one had just snagged a small pike.

Ingleside - a young bird paused from its morning hunt. I was very close but had to remain in the car so it didn't flush.

Ahmad Shah: Great detailed shot.
BrianMorin: I took insurance shots from further away then moved about 7 metres closer for a few more and finally advanced down a side road as far as I felt was safe for the final shots. The bird was not in a hurry to leave so I had the luxury of picking my sky background which included full then partial cloud and finally blue sky, with and without sun.

Guelph - part of a small overwintering flock that were feeding on remnant wild grapes and berries, including these winter berries. This plant keeps its fruit into the coldest part of the year, usually until birds clean them out.

Ottawa - Another relatively easy to find summer species but when one lands a few feet away you just have to take the shot. There is almost no vertical crop on this image.

Ottawa - This bird has been present likely since December and will soon return to the boreal forest. I have seen it off and on throughout the winter but made a special trip to say goodbye. I spent some time observing it hunting, capturing a few shots.
