Osprey-3188-j22

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)

New Jersey

 

Best viewed large by clicking on the image.

 

Keeping the bird in the viewfinder through it's entire dive has been the hardest part of these fishing images.

 

The Osprey have several fishing techniques. They include deep dives where they can often times become completely submerged in the water and what I like to call skim fishing, where they will snag a fish near the surface. This one was skim fishing in this capture.
