Paula’s B&W Sunday Challenge this week, asks for ‘Layers’.
The Osprey who flies over our lake, snagged himself a really good sushi breakfast which he took back to the layers of tall trees to finish off. No sharing for him!
This is the beginning of a very busy and exciting week for hubby and I. I’ll pop in to visit you when I can. Hope your week is a good one.

When I’m in Florida, I always look for the osprey hunting over the waters.I didn’t realize that they visited your yard,too. How cool is that!
Very cool for me, but not so much for the fishies. 🙂
I love how you capture these amazing creatures.
Thanks, Linda.
Hahaha! I did not understand the ‘sushi’ part at first, but now I do. I hope the bird enjoyed the fresh-out-of-the-water sushi.
Thanks, ZL. It must be nice not have to cook your meals and wash up afterwards.:)
Wieder wunderschön liebe Grüße und einen schönen Tag wünsche ich dir eine Umarmung Gislinde
Thanks so much, Gislinde, I hope you are having a good week. 🙂 xx
What a great capture! I love eagles!
Thanks, Mandy. It turned out to be an Osprey. 🙂
An osprey? Very exciting, although probably a little too exciting for the fish! 🙂
Indeed, 😅😰
Bald eagle, too?
Hi, Jessica. Lynne at Bluebrightly blog has just informed me that this is an Osprey, not a Bald Eagle. You live and learn every day on the blogs. 🙂 xx
Rats! I was sooooo excited to see a Bald Eagle down there. We have them here in the winter months. They’re so amazing to watch. They nest near our house by the river. Well, an Osprey is quite impressive, too!
Stunning photo. It’s such a thrill to run across these magnificent creatures.
Thanks so much. Yes, I agree.
I like the processing – and I’m with you on the frustrations of not having enough zoom power. It’s a really nice shot, even at this range, especially with that fresh catch. It looks much more like an Osprey to me than a Bald eagle. The marking on the head, the white underneath. They’re both fabulous sushi eaters, and exciting to watch!
Thanks so much for your input, Lynn. I just looked again at the colour photo, and I believe you’re correct in your identification. I see that the Bald Eagle has black leg feathers, not white. I’ve just always assumed they were eagles flying overhead. It’s good to learn something new. 🙂
Whew, I’m glad you didn’t feel like I was being critical, but I figured you would rather know – and hey, that adds another bird to your local list!
Wow what a magical picture in black and white
Thanks, Marylou.
Wow – fabulous shot.
the bird is wonderful – but the verticals in the branches really had a cool feel – and the edit too.
and hope your busy week is enjoyable and talk to you later amiga
Thanks so much for your positive comment, Yvette. The week is going well, but we need a few more hours in the day. 🙂
🙂
sono deliziose le sue zampe con pantaloncini piumati! felice giorno cara
Thanks so much, Annalisa. I love to watch these eagles swooping through the air. 🙂 xx
Wow Sylvia! I’m thinking National Geographic is going to start knocking on your door. Wonderful capture! Good luck with all of your tasks and please don’t feel you need to drop by. I’m always happy for your visits when they are convenient. Xo
Thanks so much, Sue. I think I need to upgrade my camera before Nat Geo will employ me. 😀 I am a bit pushed for time at the moment, so may be a bit scarce. xx
No worries Sylvia. You enjoy your time!
This is really cool how you caught the bald eagle with his dinner or snack, Sylvia. Sushi is definitely his favorite meal of the day. 🙂
Thanks, Robin. I saw him dive into the water to get the fish, and then had to watch to see which tree his dining room was going to be in. 🙂
It takes a diligent observer like yourself to capture such a wide and ever expanding number of creatures and birds, Sylvia. I am always impressed at this display! 🙂
Thanks, Robin. A lot of it is just being in the right place at the right time…….oh, and having your camera close by. 😀
So true! But you show patience by taking them, then kindness in spreading the joy with all of us. xo
Sushi at its best!
Thanks, Val. 🙂
Must be an amazing thing to see the eagle catching the fish out of water and flew to eat it on the branch.
Yes it was quite thrilling to watch. Felt sorry for the poor fish though. 😂
He looks very hungry. Maybe, it’s best to keep your distance.
At least, it’s fresh. LOL
Thanks, Issy. I really would hate to be a fish. 🙂
😎
Take it easy 🙂
Haha….. How nice that would be, Gilly. 🙂 xx
I’ve just eaten fish myself, Sylvia – although mine probably wasn’t quite as fresh. Enjoy your week!
Haha I guess you’re right, Tom. 😀
Geniet elke oomblik!
Yes, I will. 🙂
And I’m sure that sushi is very fresh. 😉 Haha, nice!
Thanks, Marion. Yes, very fresh indeed. I hope it was dead before he started eating it. 😯
I’m sure it was, dear. x
Purrfect shot, Sylvia. Pawkisses for a wonderful week and take it easy 🙂 ❤
Thanks, Binky. I’ll try. 🙂 xx
How wonderful to be able to observe and capture a bird such as this Sylvia! 🙂
Thanks, Adrian. Yes it is. I think I need to upgrade my camera to get a better zoom, though. 🙂
Same back to you, my dear!
Lovely pic..
Thank you, Anna. 🙂
Great shot, Sylvia!
Thanks so much, Jill. 🙂
Why make it more complicated. Sushi right from the sea. I bet it was going to be hard to get any but of that sushi!
Thanks, Otto. Who needs a kitchen when you’re an eagle? 🙂
oh wow breakfast is served! sucks to be the fish eh 😄
Absolutely, Andy. 😕
Nice shot. Have fun arranging your “stuff” when it arrives.
Thanks so much, Nancy. 🙂

I would be very surprised to see him throw you a bite. He is very focused on his meal. Quite a capture, Sylvia. Thank you for sharing and letting me know your news. Just take it easy, if you can 😉
He was hogging that fish all to himself. I found some time to play the piano whilst hubby was painting his study this afternoon. 🙂
Wow. I can’t believe all the wildlife you manage to capture down there! You must constantly be at your windows! Very cool shot. Hope your busy week is still a good one!
Thanks, Torrie. Yes, I do keep my eyes peeled for movement out there. Never a dull moment. 🙂
