Wow. Great month. This was a hard choice.

I voted for CoastalConn's Osprey. Mostly cause it's a lovely shot, technically perfect...and a whole lotta luck went into this one.

Great catch, Coastal...I mean osprey.

Thank you! It was only 95% luck I stalked the Ospreys for at least 3 weeks to figure out their habits. Things like what tide they were most active at, where the sun would be, even the wind direction (they almost always take off into the wind) Then I stalked them each morning for a week in a certain spot with a camo shirt hidden behind a rock pile. The best thing about this experience was that it actually dripped on me!

See after hearing that, I love that shot even more. Too cool.

I don't think I'll ever have the patience or enough free time to shoot birds.

I agree that it's a shame only one will win. Great job everyone.

And after a long month its over - and after a very mixed bag of votes it seems that the camo shirt, getting dripped on and all the hours were well worth it and CoastalConn's Osprey has taken the win!
