St Patrick's Day found this osprey taking a bath.
I used Sport mode to capture this fast moving bird enjoying his Sunday Bath. #1519789

Very unusual bird shot! I like the stop action of the bird taking a bath with the water flying in all different directions. #10614544

Now *THIS* is ORIGINAL!!! WOW! I love it, Mumj! And how neat is it that he/she felt totally comfortable around a human to just let it all hang out and be himself!!!? We will never see another one like this again!!

Great job!!!

Nancy Please fill me in on the details of this catch. Appears you just snuck up on him from a higher vantage point .. Gotta agree a VERY UNIQUE CAPTURE of any Raptor...

THANK YOU greatly for your comment and question. Yes, I did sneak up on it, as the scene is perfect for bird viewing. At the Reserve there are injured birds and animals. For this Osprey life is great. I was on the walkway, and stood at the railing. Straight below me was this fantastic bird bath show! Next time I go there I will try to remember to take photos of the areas as well as the birds. Ha, I was captured by the actions more than scenes...lol. I do hope this is a great beginning for you to keep posting to BP members threads. THANK YOU again, I am honored to be your first post. Have a great day! 8o) #10615440
