Osprey With Fish

08 May 2013     © smck

Luckily I usually have my camera in the truck with me.  Coming over the first real hill from the town of North East I spotted this guy, fish in claw, flying with steady beat of his wings toward  a section of wood that I had already suspected was the vicinity of their nest.  Quickly I pulled to the shoulder of the road, then when traffic was clear I did a U-turn and drove about 1/4 mile (a little less than 0.5 kilometer) back to near the hill top, then again pulled to the shoulder and stopped opposite where I saw him perched waiting to get his photo taken.
