Quick Trip to Blue Cypress Lake

[Second Hand Pat]

I stayed overnight in Vero Beach and make two boats trips out with a friend to Blue Cypress Lake which is one of the more beautiful lakes in Florida. The Ospreys nest in the Cypress trees around the lake and there are lots of them. Hope you enjoy...

Nice Osprey shots Pat..thats one big stick the adult is carrying! I guess compared to fish I have them carry its probably nothing in weight.. but looks like it is.

Backlite owls a cool shot too.. nice capture there!

Thank you Al :D The osprey carrying that branch flew around with it for like 30 minutes plus. It was still flying with it when we left.

Great photos Pat.

What focal length were you using with your mirrorless setup?

Thanks Dave, I am using the Nikon S F4.5 400 mm with a 2.0 TC which puts me at 800mm. I do sometimes clip wings etc.
