@bs kite@ after studying the osprey from a distance for a bit, I discovered it likes to roost in a particular pine, which is positioned to give me a great afternoon shot. Sneaking up on it was not easy Both shots were in DX mode just to get the AF as good as I could.
Good catch! Being out there and observing the nature is the most fun.
The pine "is positioned to give me a great afternoon shot". That's a big gain.
We hope the osprey tolerates you taking up that same position. I think it will.
I can't use that strategy with loons; I must move with them on the water. But I can use that strategy in my wildflower garden because everything must come to the nectar.
