I remember sitting in the soft rain that wraps western Washington like a cold wet blanket as a single great blue heron silently glided through the air. If its current trajectory held, it would land somewhere close by. The wind direction would steer the bird in a glorious head on approach. I looked through my viewfinder and double checked all my settings and placed my finger on the shutter button. As the heron raised its wings and applied the brakes the wind changed directions for a millisecond and every single feather on the bird danced in unison. What would have been a somewhat common heron landing shot was instantly transformed into a beautiful work of art. One of my favorite great blue heron shots.

In a few seconds that I can only describe as pure magic, the clouds parted, the sun made an appearance and the pelican I was eagerly photographing reached down and grabbed my lens giving me the opportunity to capture one of the wildest photos I have ever had the pleasure of creating. Not sure if this is a dream shot or nightmare fuel. Either way, I’m impressed.

Everything is all good and fine until an Osprey comes along and shoves its talon down your throat. Ouch. Say it with me. Glad I’m not a fish.

Florida has a large population of resident ospreys but it’s always great to see the northern birds show up in the fall and winter.
For the last month or so I’ve watched them haul some crazy stuff out of the ocean and of course the one that got the baby shark was well before sunrise.
I love capturing these birds in slow motion video but I also still love taking photos of them. They embody so much power and determination. Something we can all take inspiration from.
