Osprey From Sunny Florida

[Steve_E]

Greetings everyone, it's been a while. I recently made my annual trip to Florida and once again I was impressed with the abundance of subject matter. So many species of birds and beautiful locations to try to fit into one week.

My glass of choice is the 500L but I'll start with a couple taken with a borrowed 800L. A good friend was nice enough to loan me his copy of this incredible lens to match up with my Mark IV on this morning out. The weather was perfect and we saw at least 50 birds and too many nests to count. I was shooting hand held from a boat so the bright sunlight was just what we needed. Hope you enjoy.
