what is he?<br />
<br />
I did not get a good photo of him in flight.  He waited until I left to get another CF card to fly, smile.<br />
<br />
I thought he was an Osprey, but from my book he appears to be a <br />
young Eagle.  RTH  ???<br />
Thanks, ginger<br />

This is a hawk hunting.  A diff rd, Pitt St Bridge, but same marsh as where this bird here was hanging out.  This flying bird is very soft, no pixels, no details.  But I am impressed by the wing spread.<br />

It is a composite photo. I personally did not get a duck that good.  For those who want to know, he was shooting with a Nikon.  I had a 400mm lens on my Canon, and he had a shorter lens on his camera.  In my slim defense, I did not know that "shooting ducks was like SHOOTING ducks!<br />
