I continued down the dusty dirt road and espied an osprey sitting atop a telephone pole in the far distance. Since I had the 500mm on the Nikon I decided to snap a couple frames and then drive closer. Certainly not terrible but not as sharp as I had hoped. Alas by the time I got near, my bird and his fish breakfast had flown the coop. But you get the general idea. There will be another day.

Keep your eye on the birdie.
Most saturday mornings Fallbrook Shutters meets at the coffee shop and we swap shots and stories. I got up a little late today and drove down my narrow canyon road towards town. I did a visual on the hawks nest, actually think that she may have baby hawks in the nest, saw a couple tufts poking up and her first movements in several weeks. Not sure, must keep checking.

I love these shots, Robert. The nature of Fallbrook. I had no idea our humble river played home to such big-ass fish.
ReplyDeleteA couple of people have written asking me about the big fish. I live on the Santa Margarita River and I have seen them over two feet long. Even have pictures to prove it.
