Today at the TCCAP WVA, I Saw an Osprey with a Fish

Lots of rain today.  I made it out three times in between red blobs on the radar and tornado warnings.  The clouds broke up in a evening so I rushed out to the WVA.

I think this is my best Osprey with fish shot (so far) at the TCAAP Wildlife Viewing Area. I saw it bring a much smaller fish to the next about a half hour earlier. It braved the pissed off red-winged blackbird gauntlet and flew over to Turtle Lake. I waited and gave up on a few song bird shots in the hopes that the osprey would fly over the WVA.

These shots aren't cropped very much at all but I did have to lighten up the bird and fish a bit.
