There's been an osprey hanging around one of my irrigation ponds. The other day I watched him catch a fish right in front of me - of course no camera! Last night I took my camera when I was changing my water, now I had the camera but the osprey was already done fishing. Cool bird to watch, but at the same time I have a catch-n-release rule for the pond.

A couple of years ago I had another osprey circling the small pond in my yard, so I grabbed my camera and got a few cool shots - as he got one of the better fish in the pond! I seem to have a penchant for photos that just aren't quite focused, but still surprised I got these pics. I need to get some of the real photographers on here to teach me how to get better focus.
