    off the charts good!
    Russ,

    That is a wonderful series of shots. You had the luck to be there and the skill to capture the events.

    In a couple of shots the osprey appeared to be clutching a fish in each foot. My wife dubbed him a two-fished drinker.

    Bravo!
    I spent a good part of the summer photographing 2 osprey nests here on Vancouver Island and I have to say that shot of the Osprey with the two fish in it's claws is now my all-time favourite!

    Just awesome!

    Two-fished drinker it is :D
    You're right, luck, skill, patience, and perseverance.

    Thanks Brad, did you ever get around to posting your nesting osprey images here?
    And if not, where can I view them?

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
