Default Productive day... photographicly
So I was out and about, and captured some scenic shots, as well as a couple action shots of some Osprey.

Big Lagoon State Park

I Bee Bizzzy

Osprey, aka Pandion haliaetus

My prize for today though...

A Great Horned Owl.

Great Horned Owl

This guy was quite a distance away, hence the reason he looks blurry. When I get an upgrade to my zoom lens (on my christmas list) I will be able to return to his nesting grounds and get a clear shot.

Very productive day, that first shot is grand. Of course being a bird chaser myself I love the last two. Any owl shot is worth sharing, thanks. The osprey is perfect timing, love the talons on this shot.

I think your first shot is fascinating, it is really wonderful, I just keep looking at it, you did a wonderful
job. All the shots are great, but the first one is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
