Osprey With Fish
Photo By Craig Mullenbach

Title: Osprey With Fish
State/Province/Region: Minnesota
Country: United States
Nearest Area: Saint Paul
Nearest Town: Shoreview
Brief Directions: The TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area is about 10 miles north of Saint Paul Minnesota in the city of Arden Hills.
Best Season: Summer
Description: I watch the Osprey nest within the Arden Hills Army Training Site from the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area nearly every day. I finally rented a Nikkor 500mm f4 last spring in an attempt to capture some tighter compositions of the osprey in flight. This osprey flew right over me with the biggest fish I've ever seen them carry.
Gear: Nikon D7000, Nikkor 500mm f4, Gitzo mono pod, Manfrotto tilt head, Sandisk Extreme III SD,

Thank you very much, Lorenzo! I was pretty happy to see those clouds coming in from the west as I was quickly setting up pre-sunset to get this side of the lighthouse. Thank you! --Jim--
