Chasing Osprey

It's been a long time since I've posted on here, but that's going to change starting today. Back in January I ruptured my Achilles tendon, it's a long story, but it's been six weeks since the injury and now I can walk around again. Since returning from life as an expat in November of 2017, I've wanted to document the natural beauty of my home state Florida. I can't think of an animal that better embodies the spirit of Florida and it's relationship to to the ocean than the Osprey. They are powerful, adaptable, beautiful, and can be seen throughout Florida, especially by water. Yesterday, I finally got the opportunity to take photos of an adult while it patrolled its nesting area. I was awestruck by the Osprey's coloration, massive talons that look like butcher's hooks, and piercing yellow eyes. The Osprey might be the world's most widespread bird of prey, but it's far from ordinary.
