Osprey Nesting on Long Beach

I was driving on Long Beach and I got jealous because I saw a couple looking at the Osprey nest I had wanted to shoot for the last 3 weeks. I decided to come back out and bring my long lens. ANY excuse to use the long lens. I set up and boy was I happy. The Ospreys were very active and seemed concerned. As I was shooting, a gentleman stopped his SUV and began talking about the birds. Terry Sullivan introduced himself and it quickly became apparent that this fellow REALLY knew about birds. He is an avid birder and he began telling me about the behaviors of the osprey. Terry is a great guy and I learned more in 15 minutes with him than I knew in a lifetime of taking pictures of these beautiful creatures. Terry gave me some insights about where to go to get some other bird pictures and told me about a picture he captured of a migrant bird that he caught by accident. I can't wait to check the picture out in the Easthampton Star. Thanks Terry! I think this is the beginning of my 720 Project. I'm off to a good start.
