Gone to See America. December 2008 Florida Road Trip. Day 2: St. Petersburg.
Osprey with Fish for Breakfast at Fort De Soto County Park in St. Petersburg, Florida. Image taken with a Nikon D700 camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens with TC-E 20 II teleconverter (ISO 200, 600 mm, f/8, 1/1600 sec).
Last year I learned that a male Osprey will catch as large a fish that it can and then fly around like this to impress the females.
