Not quite Osprey season yet..

[coastalconn]

but at least I have my favorite hawk to keep me entertained. At least there was an Osprey sited today in CT so it is very near. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

1 The normal look when he flies up and lands above me..

2 He went after a songbird and missed and this was one hell of a tough shot to get with the back light. Shooting with my normal spot metering and +2/3EC the ISO was at 2500, but I saved it a little in post.

Totally good shots to look at.
I know I would be so happy to get a few shots like this in the future.

#1 the expression is always the $$$ shot!

Great shots.
George Jr is awesome. You have to love a bird that hams it up for the camera.

2 & 3 are badass Sweetness! I know how tough those kinds of shots can be (especially since I've yet to get one) LOL. Great stuff man.

Would love a shot of you lying below all camo'd up.

Love his look on number one.

You have these birds trained, like set up, roll over etc. Could you teach me?

On our recent trip A shot as these came to us but we were in the car driving.
A hawk had taken off from the side of the road where there was road kill.
And as it flew right towards us and over the top of the car I thought of these shots.
Now with that I know just how hard it would have been on the day to get these ones posted.
