Dawn Patrol

An osprey looks me over just as the Sun was rising over the tree line at the lake.  I had the 18-300mm on the tripod, photographing the shoreline of the lake.  With a polarizer on no less.  I took a few shots with it and then grabbed the big lens out of the truck. Fortunately, the osprey took a few circles overhead so I got a couple of hundred shots off.  I guess I'll have to crank the auto-shutter speed up a little more because I just can't get steady handholding a lens anymore.  Oh well. It's still thrilling to see such a thing and a privilege to be able to photograph it.
