What a surprise. Teresa was first to see her .. she was in a tree about 75 to 100 yards north of where we were hiking. We were at Garbry Big Woods Reserve taking a short hike on a busy day. Until I got a good zoom and could look at the photo I was not sure what we were looking at. Yes, it is a Osprey.
I have photographed an Osprey at Big Woods once before but that was a few years ago.
We tried to get closer but she flew away. Her wingspan was amazing. What an amazing sight.

I photographed this Osprey a while back. We don't see them very often. They eat fish ... only fish, so you will see them near lakes, larger ponds and rivers. They are very cool, at least I love seeing them.

I was really excited when I saw this Osprey flying at Kiser Lake. Their diet is 100% fish, so I should not have been so surprised. When we fist saw her, I thought it was a hawk, but as we watched, and I capture this photo, I could tell we were looking at something different. I have only photographed one other Osprey prior to this photo. Very cool.

We hiked at Eastwood MetroPark. When we arrived, there was a gentleman with a good bird lens looking at the trees. As it turns out, he was watching this Osprey. What a pleasant surprise. I took several photos, but never did get a great photo. The photos above are the best I was able to capture. Very cool.
The Osprey are a fish eater .. so it was not a surprise to see him here. I have been told that a pair of eagles show up frequently too. I didn’t see them while we were there.
The video below include photos and other video from our hike. Enjoy.
