The Osprey is my favorite bird. I was working in Burbank California. There was city for at least 15 miles in every direction. To my suprise, on top of a telephone pole was an Osprey. We were working next to the concrete lined Los Angeles River. A small stretch of river where we were has a natural gravel and rock bottom. This Osprey was living in the city fishing in the Los Angeles River. I've seen plenty of Osprey in Montana where I go every year to fish. This was the first and only one I've seen in Los Angeles. I love your picturs, thank you.

[@photoshoott2022]

Amazing video and thank you for sharing. Photographed my share of ospreys many times and it is always an incredible experience to say the least. I am still yet to catch one grabbing the fish out of the water, but in all do time. Great video and information Mark.

Two things captivate me when kayak fishing, Osprey hunting and Bald Eagle vocalization. I can watch an Osprey hunt for hours. They will fly over us only after catching a fish, almost like they are showing off their kill. They are amazing creatures.

Thank you for not only taking the photos but giving us the real story behind the bird. What a truly intelligent designed bird.

The Osprey is now reintroduced in Scotland after years of disappearing. Some were found in one or two lochs and is now breeding very well according to Scottish bird agency.

[@leylandblooter6515]

And we are so glad to have them. Check out the Loch Arkaig webcam.

[@minnowpd]

Good to hear. We in upstate New York are glad to report ospreys are common and Bald Eagles . I watched an osprey grab a pike this summer. It was too big to lift, so the bird paddled with its wings to shore, dragging the fish all the way.

The osprey was never reintroduced in Scotland, it recolonised naturally.

WOW 😯❤! what an amazing work you`ve done! ...I met the Osprey this summer in Sanible Island for vacation. I was absolutely captivated by this amazing Bird, and had a chance to see him rise up form the ocean next to me in the water with a fish in his claws. I found very interesting that this bird could stay hours fix on the top of a tree and do nothing too. Would love to meet them again...I'm from Chile .

[@bjoybeads]

Amazing! - Each catch a unique accomplishment. I've seen an osprey screaming at his parents circling above. It was dusk, he looked down at the river, smack! He came up with a fish and circled around and around with everyone cheering! He was so proud of his first catch.

I am a new subscriber from the UK. I live in London miles away from ospreys but I had the joy of seeing the Arkaig and Loch of the Lowes osprey family last year and since then they're my favourite raptor. I've never seen them before. Looking at the live cam at Loch Arkaig is just great. I didn't see any in flight over water so I was glad to be able to watch your wonderful footage and enjoy your narration. The osprey, like all raptors are under protection here in the UK and they have made an amazing comeback after having been hunted to extinction in the last century here. Since 1970s their numbers have increased. Now I look forward to more videos from you. Thank you.

[@johnstephens2997]

Great photography! Thanks! Here's an Osprey story for you. Many years ago in the Florida Keys, several sailboats were built at "the House of Goats and Boats." One resident named his sloop the Osprey. When it came time to step on the mast, a big party was gathered at a local harbor to help assist him. As soon as Bill hanked on the sails and the boat came to life, we heard a bird shriek above and looked up just as an Osprey landed on the top of the mast! As the flotilla of sailboats set course for the Florida Bay, the Osprey took to flight with another shriek and led us sailors to open water, flying just ahead in the lead. It was a magic time.

[@MarkSmithphotography]

That's pure magic. Awesome thanks for sharing

[@lynne0409]

So very cool! My grandson and I watched some ospreys fishing today on Chautauqua Lake in NY so I was looking for some KZbin videos and yours popped up....we have really enjoyed the beautiful photographs that you captured! They are amazing birds! Thank you!

[@Yashua2Rule]

This is some of the best photography I've ever seen. Up here in Montana there is clear blue lake where Osprey and Bald Eagles do all this every day and I love watching them. You can see the aqua blue refection under their wings and their flying fish.

[@nidalshehahadeh7485]

Photos do not do justice to this Majestic bird , Ospreys are an awesome sight to see , I was one of the fortunate ones who had an off spray fish and eat on a pine tree across the street from my house , An Osprey landed on a pine tree in Port Charlotte Florida eating what was fished out of the water canals , about a hundred yards away from behind my house I used a small rifle scope and try to look at it from in between the branches of an oak tree , looking at me moving its head up and down a couple times determining that I was a threat of some sort immediately took off , on the next occasion it landed again on the same tree ... I took my camera out and started taking pictures and filming it , for some reason I was tolerated and it just sat there eating its meal , it was an amazing sight to see .

As a fly fisherman in the Rockies, I love and am in awe of Osprey. Seeing them fish is always a welcome distraction - they are undeniably better fishers than me. Though we compete for the same fish, I release my catch; osprey cannot afford that indulgence.

[@SuspectUsual]

*Masterful photography + Eloquent narration* 👏 👏

[@tmaryso43williams10]

I loved the story telling almost as much as the Osprey photos! I am one that has sat hour upon hour watching the nest cams and learned so very much about the Osprey and that those that write the books don't really have a clue. The male does a lot more then bring fish to the nest. He brings fish and then as walked on and taken a beak to the females feathers in the wings, all in attempts to get her up off of the eggs, so he can have a chance to incubate the eggs. I know not as exciting but the antics on the nest are awesome and would love to see you photograph some. The male feeding chicks, and has also fed the female while she is incubating the eggs. It is all totally amazing!

[@babsOntheTube]

My favorite images were actually the videos where you can see the osprey hovering and searching the waters below. You don't get to see that so often, and it gives you an idea how much energy they expend fishing. Second favorite was the pompano episode! Wonderful photos and videos of my favorite bird too!

Hey man, what an awesome collection of magnificent pictures. Having lived in very closed proximity to a pair of Ospreys, I also became very fond of those birds. Seeing them dive for a mullet just a few yards away is truly a spectacle. I'll tell you about another bird that really struck my attention, the belted kingfisher. Although not as majestic as the osprey, it's tenacity and cleverness is a sight to behold. Anyhow, thank you for such wonderful presentation.

Incredible photos. I live in Louisville, KY and am 83. I have never tried to take pics of birds, and certainly no osprys. They must be very rare in this area. However, I was told there was an ospry nest on a 60-foot tower between a very small lake and the Ohio River. I followed the directions and finally found the nest, but no bird. I waited and waited and waited and finally an ospry flew in an landed on the tower of a crossmember next to the nest. It had a partially eaten fish in one talon. I waited and waited again and the bird jumped into the nest, then poked its head out not moving. I waited and waited again, and just as I was about to pack up and leave, the ospy took off in flight directly above me. I had already put up my pod, gimbal mount and D500 with my 200-500 lens. Of course, I didn't have time to set up my pod rig again, so I simply began shooting handheld. I had my camera's focus on the two back-buttons like you had instructed in your video, but I had practiced using them only for a short period in my backyard. Needless to say, I was pushing buttons, zooming in and out everywhichwaybutloose, while the bird circled the tower. I finally was able to get the ospry in my viewfinder and I frantically continue to push one button and then the other. In post, I was very happy with my still pics of the bird on the tower, but quite disappointed with it in flight. I never got a focus that satisfied me, but there was no doubt what the bird was. I go into long detail here, just to let you know how much I now appreciate your wonderful skill and talent. I shall try again, but with only one or two birds to practice on, my attempts may be few and far between. Keep up the fabulous work. I subscribed several months ago and always look forward to your issuing another video.

Sir, I've been filming birds for over 30 years on professional projects and have wanted to get the perfect video sequence of an Osprey catch. I've come close, but always a small focus misjudge, a slight overshoot of camera movement as the bird hits the water, less than ideal light, ugly background...you get it. Never all elements coming together at one time for me. I realize, too, how much MORE of your efforts have been focused on this amazing bird. That being said, your work is THE ultimate I've ever seen of the Osprey and the passion when you speak of it is stunning. I'm so glad to know there are folks like you who mainly focus on getting the ESSENCE of one species. Bless you, Mark.
