I used a Nikkor 300 mm F4 at F5.6 at 1/750th

It is an awesome lens - totally sharp even wide open and very inexpensive compared to many of their other lenses.

Hey Richard.

I think I have these pics, too! Love the way the second bird is cocking its head at you!

I love to watch osprey fish. They actually dive into the water and come out with a fish that may weigh 2 pounds and then struggle aloft with it. We had a lot of them in North Idaho. I actually had one steal a Koi from my pond i Spokane Washington once.

That first is a classic fly by shot. The second shows their keen eyesight. Love their cry.
