Florida osprey coming at you. There is a nest I visit that is next to a sand bar. At low tide this bar becomes exposed and many birds like to fish from the prime spot. This pair of ospreys from the nest like to fly down and land on the sand bar and watch things. It is surrounded by water at low tied so they feel safe from predators. A bit difficult to shoot from the boat as the current is always very strong outgoing to the Gulf.
Thanks for looking.

All I can say that is one smart bird keeping an eye on you Mike !!!!! I like the coming at you pose and wings but having trouble with the bg The shore edge intersecting the bird is distracting Might clone out the mangroves and add a little canvas
You sure got lots of Ospreys Probably know them by name !!!!
