An Osprey 'Pandion haliaetus'
I captured this Osprey image last week in southern California at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine. It was a particularly hot afternoon (104 F. / 40 C.) and I was lucky enough to be the only photographer on hand for this display of "birdly" cooling.

The afternoon light was quite nice and it was around 6:15 pm (18:15) in the evening, thus the sun was lower in the sky, giving direct light as opposed to overhead which would create shadowing in a like situation.
In this image I get the 'stare down'...

Thank you for your kind accolades. As one would expect there were other birds about the ponds as well. One of particular of note was this majestic flyer.
