Not awful at all. No wonder calls sometimes get dropped : )

Their nest site can be very entertaining!!! Your photos are not at all awful--it is not an easy shot to get. Keep waiting for the shot--it will happen!

Dianne, I thought about you yesterday. I missed shot after shot, but did get a few off as this Osprey was came in for dinner.
Here is the story.
I didn't realize they almost go under water to get the fish. 
Coming back up with the fish
Over my head
This was an East to West Shot-Possibly that is why the bird looks so glossy? You can still see the fish handing just under the tail as it circles above us.
My favorite
Off to dinner
I made these smaller since there are so many. Click on to enlarge -

Spectacular!!!! What a great series of photos!!!!! I'm green with envy! What is so very cool about the Osprey is how they will reposition the fishm aerodynamically, after they snag . . .

I saw him circling but I had a different lens on the camera. I took a deep breath and starting switching out the lenses. I made just as he dove.

Now you've shown us the birds and bees, we should be blushing. Lovely photos. Those bees are so clear.

Wow, what a catch, and so perfect in focus. Capturing any bird in motion is difficult--Okay almost impossible but you did a great job Carol.
We are so dry here, I think the Hummingbirds moved on. Just came from up North by Lake Erie. It is still green. Odd just an hour north is green and we are a desert here. So, maybe the birds went up there.
But we still have bees. What lavender flower is in the picture?

Thanks Joanne! Hope you get relief from the drought soon. We'll have to ask the House Expert (F) about the flower....I plant 'em and forget "em!
