O Is For Osprey


(Oh please be an Osprey.)


These are holiday photos taken at 
Pismo Beach Pier, California, in August.
On the next lamp post along the pier 
was a Pelican.  
Think I might be all set for
next week's ABC Wednesday - 'P' :).

Oh lovely wildlife shots! Were you able to use your non-point-and-shoot during your trip? Love the bird details and that lovely sky:)

Thanks, Leovi.

Lulu - I was not allowed to take my big camera. Mr LOL kept reminding me about our luggage allowance :). So I just used my Panasonic point and shoot. I was surprised at what I got.

These are terrific pictures. I've never been able to get close enough to an osprey to get a good shot.

On a golf course in Ft. Lauderdale, we used to watch them dive into a canal and come up with huge fish which they took to their next high in the trees. It was quite an amazing sight!

Great shot of a beautiful bird. That beak means business!

Its always fun to see birds that live on the ocean. Only a treat I see on vacation. I've never seen an Osprey before.

If it is NOT an osprey, I am sure not the guy who is going to discover it!

I looked for pictures on the web, and it sure looks like an osprey. Your photo is the best of them all, by the way.

The Panasonic point and shoot is really good, I loved mine. Looks like an Osprey to me Lauren, poor wee creature it has its beady eye on there :)
