LoL! Actually, of all the raptors, osprey seem to be the least concerned about humans gawking and pointing big white tubes at them, so they go about their business. Right now some of the unattached younger males are trying to move in on established nesting pairs and there is a lot of drama to capture.

Thanks Ed. I hadn't noticed it. Thanks for pointing it out. I apparently went to the sand dunes and managed not to get a spot and then, somehow, I got one the day of this shot, or the evening before.

I spent five-hours over two-days trying to get bufflehead flight shots. They're probably twice as fast as mallards and I got several chances, but no success. Finally, five-minutes before sunset, my friend Dan said, "Look, there's something" and I saw these two about 100-yards out and finally got a shot.

Love the B-17, Ed. My dad trained as a bombardier in those after the air corp had moved on to newer, bigger models in combat, but used the 17s for training. Luckily, for me, the war in Europe ended right as he completed his training (he'd been a flight instructor for a couple of years) and the discharged him rather than send him to the Pacific.
