It's been a very long winter, I got my D80 shortly after they headed south for the winter last year, I've been chomping at the bit for them to come back north! Finally this week my (mine because I've never seen anyone else shooting them) Osprey are back!
These are all hand held with the D80 + 70-300 VR and pretty heavily cropped, the light pole their nest is on is a very tall one.
A few more shots are at http://s96.photobucket.com/albums/l185/handcannons/Birds/Osprey 2007/ as I get more (and better, I hope) shots I'll add them there as well.
Now all I need is more practice, better light, a longer lens, time off to spend shooting them.....:biggrin:
