Osprey and Cormorant

[medic001918]

Was out on the boat on the river last week and finally decided to bring my camera. There’s a number of active Osprey nests and bald eagle nests along the river, so wildlife is usually abundant.

On that day I didn’t see any eagles to shoot, but did find this cormorant taking flight.

And caught this Osprey calling for their mate.

Shooting from a boat poses some unique challenges, but I think I’m going to embrace it and take advantage of the opportunities it creates.

Feel free to edit images and offer critiques.
