You must have to wait a long time to get these shots! I am impressed!
it's a lot like fishing. get the right equipment, get to know your target, go to the right places at the right times, and hope they cooperate. Yesterday morning, I watched an eagle in a tree by that river for almost an hour. And he watched me. He wasn't hungry, and I didn't get any pictures. Good thing I brought my breakfast. Nice hot oatmeal helps when it's 9 degrees out and you're just standing there.

That super big exhaust tip must add a lot of HP?

And then sometimes, the eagle comes and sits in a tree in my backyard and eats the fish, like this guy did a half hour ago!!

Not like @Coult45’s bird pictures, but this is a common sight in our area:

Southern Delaware (as well as Maryland’s Eastern Shore) is known for our beaches, agriculture and chickens (raising and processing).

Crappy cell phone picture of an Osprey down here in Baja.View attachment 215415
You should get together with @Coult45 and give him a few pointers. He's been getting by, cheating with a dedicated camera ;)

That's still a great shot with a cell phone, there's a few osprey in my area, and they're quite difficult to get a good look at with the naked eye, much less get a nice photo like you were able to capture.

Some farmer set up a roosting platform in the middle of nowhere, and without fail for the last 6 years, at least, there have been a pair of ospreys that had at least one baby each year. He's singlehandedly building the population you're likely to see along the Wolf River by me.

and you're in a bad spot, following that thing. there used to be a turkey farm a few miles from us, and getting behind the truck meant windows up as fast as you could.

Laying out and cutting foam for new 5” thick salon seat cushions for the PDQ cat.

Cutting a little wider for the cushion to hang over the fiddles. The soft low density pink foam will be glued to the semi firm medium density white foam. The table I am refinishing goes in the middle.
