The caption made me laugh...it sure does fit...Hope you get the airborne shot soon...Nice shot!!

The caption certainly fits! Very nice shot -- and I'm with Thusie because birds are usually flying away from me when I snap the photo!

ginger, he is actually a Red Tail, but he's so far away it's hard to tell. I seen this butt feathers as he flew by.
susan, I went over there again today but no luck, I'll keep trying.
Tom, yeah, real easy :)
Andrea thanks, your right they can sit there forever, watching us watch them.

You did great -- so hard to get close to these guys and if you do, they just sit there like potatoes.

i've heard it's real easy to sneak up on these guys, along with a few other rumors....

Cool Gail! It's not easy getting close!!! That appears to be a dead branch, if so, keep an eye on it!!! I have one in my nieghborhood which they visit frequently.

oh, forgot, ginger

nice. an osprey was pointed out to me yesterday, up in line of trees way across the lake. I "shot" him just to have proof, but I need to scout out some "better" nest views. I have one fairly near me, but it is just too high, that Osprey hates me, and I am not fond of him. I will NOT spend hours waiting on his anymore. Two years ago it seemed cool. By last year it just seemed like "waiting", and birds appear to have more spare time than I want to spend "waiting". The problem is that where I think they are is not close enough to just go there.........but I really need to look at least once. that is an exciting get, gail. ginger

Not bad at all, at least he looks like he is going to fly towards you, I get butts:-)
