I tried not to pester the Osprey's to much. I got my shots and sulked away to find something else to shoot. While I sat in my sneakboat drinking coffee, the Gackles came in and had breakfest with me:p

One Osprey was satisfied sitting in a tree watching me. Then some fishermen started coming and I knew he wouldn't stiock around

He flew off and then went into the woods but popped out behind me and sat again

There were a few geese, but they weren't in a very friendly mood:p

The light started getting harsh so I made my way back to shore. It was a fun and enlightening morning on the water.

I did feel a bit uneasy at times. These guys mean business and if they feel threatened (the nest) they will light you up!

Youre quite welcome. I get practice for catching these birds by shooting racers:D Tell josh he is somewhere between a Mallard duck in flight and a Landing Goose:p
