Great shots as usual.

Someday I'll have a lens long enough to do this kind of stuff.

Which lens did you use here? Great shot !

*sigh* - what an awesome set of shots!!!!!!!!! Every one of them. Wow.

I came upon an osprey's nest this weekend and took lots of pics but they are nowhere near as clear and crisp as yours. I have even MORE respect and admiration for your shots now (which I didn't think was possible :hail: )

Love that shot on the little green heron. They can be tough to get close to. Really sweet bokeh in that one too. :thumbup:

Good stuff, as always!!!! I have truly enjoyed watching the osprey photos across these past few weeks. It's really been a pleasure to watch the entire rearing process of those two young ospreys. The brown thrasher is a neat-looking bird, well-photographed.
