I think John Muir said that time spent in the mountains will not be subtracted from the sum of your life. I believe the same holds true watching these extraordinary videos of yours. You are a time traveler in a way, and you take all of us along with you. I’ve seen things I never could have witnessed with my own eyes through your photography. Fleeting, magical moments that happen within the blink of an eye. All your photography is top shelf, but you’ve taken osprey photography to a new level. Stay safe, and keep up the good work.

This is my first exposure to this channel and youtube algorithm did not disappoint! Now if you excuse me I will humbly clutch onto my canon eos r7 and spend the evening in a fetal position pontificating about what amazing photography and delivery that was. This is like the whole enchilada of awesome right here. Clearly you have picked the right place to capture all that. I have been learning how to take in flight and action photos and it rejuvenated my interest in photography. I mainly do videography. So cool!

Fantastic bird photography; better than my best! If I had to choose a favorite, the osprey shot at 12:30-12:32 that shows the osprey's face through the gap in his wingtip feathers is a really unique action shot that really caught my attention.

Wonderful video and lovely to see inspirational footage thanks for sharing 👍😀👍😀👍😍
