An early morning found me at Lincoln Shields. All during the week I had read emails and seen fantastic images from George Goeken about two ospreys. The birds were using a tree there to preen and rest in between fishing trips. It made working in the office a bit more bearable on one hand but harder to wait for the weekend on the other. Add a beautiful osprey image sent by Carolyn Schlueter that I found in my wake up email box and there was no doubt where I was going for the morning shoot.

There is a very small window where the osprey tree can be photographed due to extensive vegetation. For once I lucked out and was there before the “usual suspects” ( George,Carolyn, Jeff,Bernard, John Watson and several unknown photographers) 🙂

Plenty of images taken and these three were picked out at random. Hope you like them.
