An #Osprey (#PandionHaliaetus) gives Fox (the #photographer) a side-glance. The #fishhawk, as it is sometimes called, has excellent #vision, and can quickly dive down out of the air, nearly submerging themselves in the #water, to catch #fish. They are also called #riverhawk or #seahawk. Their #diet is mainly #fish, but they will eat other small #animals. They rarely #scavenge.
This osprey is siting on a pole at the #Apopka #Wildlife Drive in #Florida. When Fox began triggering the #shutter, the #bird heard the sound and glanced around to make sure Fox wasn’t up to anything more than #photography.

Today's #Riverwalk was a potent reminder that it's unlikely I'll look back from my deathbed and wish I'd spent more time hunched over a desk inside working.

This #bird flew within ten feet of us, maybe less, and perched there long enough for me to switch to pro mode and play with the exposure on the phone camera to get the second shot. An experience.
