I made a late afternoon trip to Deer Creek Wildlife Area last night to get some shots in the nice early evening light. I caught the osprey hanging out on a nest platform 100 yards from the bank along a road. I watched him for quite awhile while he made trips plunging into the water then circling back to the platform; quite exciting to watch! I only got a couple shots to turn out any kind of good; tough shooting a flying bird in somewhat low light at some distance. I was disappointed to see the poor fellow not come up with at least one fish after trying several times.
