An osprey (fish eagle) pair in Yellowstone NP last week.

The male having rainbow trout for lunch.


The female waiting for the leftovers.

Steve, that looks like the Lamar River nest. I like the way it shows the nest structure. If I am right about the nest you must have been using a rather long lens. Would you mind listing the equipment and setting you used?

Thanks Chuck and, of course, you are right about the location. I used a Pentax K-3 and a rented Sigma 150-500 Bigmos at 500mm, 1/1000 @ f/8, ISO 3200, cropped close to 100%. Here's one pulled back to show more of the location.
