By Ted Grussing
… two predators that I love to shoot were perched in the same partially submerged tree yesterday … both of these winged eating machines love to dine on fish … the Egret was first to leave the branch and the Osprey was not far behind … did the Egret spot a target and decide to get it before the Osprey could get there? Both predators have wingspans that are approximately the same … 52 to 67 inches for an Egret and 59 to 70 inches for an Osprey.
I wish the story about the Egret trying to get the fish first was true, because there would have been hundreds of great shots of that epic battle … in truth, our boat had drifted within 20 feet of them and the Egret left first … chicken! The Osprey won.
Another beautiful day and I am trying to get caught up on emails again … please be patient, I do try.
Keep breathing, smile and always look for beauty as it is everywhere.
Cheers,
Ted
