Nice stuff!!! I have NEVER seen an osprey in a photo carrying a flatfish of any species! It looks like that osprey has a sole or flounder of some type--very cool!

I really like #3. (except the 2 objects above the bird) :thumbup:

Thank you both.

That is indeed a small flounder. I find that ospreys will eat just about any fish they can catch. So whatever is in abundance around their nest is what I see them with the most. This one was fishing back bay tidal flats.

Too distracting? I kind of thought they added a little tension to the pic. There is a lot of dead space.

Here is the GBH in flight.
