Osprey (Fish Hawk)

Where: Knotts Island, VA • Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge

Equipment: Canon EOS D20 with 100-400mm Zoom L Series Lens with Image Stabilizer • Hand Held

Exposure: Shutter Speed = 1/640 • Aperture = f 8.0 • Exposure Mode = Aperture Priority • Lens (Focal) Length = 370 mm • ISO = 100 • Aprox. Camera Distance = ~100 Feet • Date Shot: 07-23-06

Notes: This Osprey was peering down into the water, 25 feet below, from a pine tree branch that extended over the canal adjacent to Mackay Island Road. In the past I have seen these magnificent raptors jump from a perch like this straight into the water after a fish.
