Osprey kick save? a few close ups and 1 for Snowy..

[coastalconn]

Had another mini Osprey-gasm. Not as much action as yesterday but still got some good series.. comments welcome..
Not sure what happened in this 4 shot series.. The Osprey must have grabbed 2 fish, then a bluefish must have tried grabbing one of the fish, resulting in a temporary kick save.. The Osprey missed both, but I suspect the Bluefish didn't...

8 For Msnowy... and for others that don't know, Ospreys dive completely in the water to catch their fish. I have many of these shots...

Nice up close flights with a large fish.

Number 1 is cool to see what looks to be a fish just breaking water in front of the osprey.

I would love to get a great in flight shake they do with water droplets frozen, but all of mine have been heavy crops.

Hey Matt, nice to see you in the forum! I know the shot you want. I tried a few times today, but it was too far away...

Thank you sir! I'm guessing big ol Mr bluefish was lurking just below the surface...

Really dig #1. Looks like it is surfing on the fish.
