Perfect blue skies and the action of Osprey catching Alewives at Damariscotta Mills last week. Can it get any better than this?

That’s a great shot, fish and all. I love birds and I’ve bee lucky enough to take a few snaps of an osprey, though not even close to being as good as your photo.

Most excellent – especially when viewed large! Good job!
Cheers, Klaus

No, it can’t get any better than that. A great capture!

Great shot with the background sky and all.-I’ll bet that Osprey caught a lot more fish than I did on my vacation.

Love the action shot John. Such a gorgeous bird!

Great photo John! The fish is so clear. Poor thing looks a little worried.

It’s been a while since I’ve visited our local Osprey, I should certainly make the trip sometime soon. Doubt I could capture anything quite this good though!
