An Osprey nest a couple of hundred yards across the river. One was standing guard while the other was feeding the two chicks. This shot was way out of range but i had to try anyway. FZ50 W/700MM + Digital zoom + Cropping

Bravo, Ed! You got him in the shot better than I could ever accomplish. I could get up to 700mm in my dreams maybe. lol

Looks a lot like an eagle Huck. Good shot considering the distance. I am glad you posted it. The Spanish Moss alone was worth the photo. Osprey are frosting.

I can see that it must have been quite a way off, Ed. At least you still got a reasonably good shot. The tree and the moss look impressive.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Even the local nests have moss growing from them. Thats just
crazy! LOL.

Is anybody out there?
I look forward to the day when they replace the great Lumix FZ50, just imagine a x18 zoom Leica lens 14mega pixels etc etc !!
In the meantime you still done good Ed after all there's a wide range to cover in this shot I can just imagine those Osprey chicks enjoying their fish supper. (o:

Look after the wildlife folks
I always say ... if the opportunity is there for a shot then go for it ... and that you did. Even for the distance you captured this scene at I can make out the details on the Osprey. Love the textured Spanish Moss. Fantastic post Ed.
