Both your latest shots are magnificent, Joel but I really like the osprey chick shot ...perfect timing!
I posted this in another thread but I think I will post it here since it is one of the few I have of an hb feeding from a flower ...

Thanks Bob, Denise, Steph & Pat. The Osprey was a fun shot. There are some nests on Santee Cooper Reservoir in SC that are very low to the water so I could shoot this standing on a pontoon boat. Got lots of chances with the adults coming and going as well.
Some kind of falcon from a bird show. Don't remember what species and I don't have my bird book on me at the moment.
