Have you ever seen a baby screech owl watch the sunrise?? It’s a little bright for them I think!! What a cutie.

Pure predator perfection. The Osprey and its unbridled determination for survival.

I often wonder when Osprey fly by with massive fish like this spec, “ Is the fish opening its mouth as a last ditch attempt at survival thinking hey I can slow this down by being a windsock?”

Having a pair of screech owls in your backyard is amazing. Scarlett the female is always so animated and busy when she’s not taking long naps in the shade of the swaying palms. Can’t wait to see what her and Rhett have brewed up in their little home.

During the height of Osprey nesting season there are a lot of mouths to feed. Each Osprey couple can have between 1-4 chicks. The male ospreys do most of the hunting and this one has managed to catch a nice sized fish that goes by many names.

Photographing ospreys never gets old. You never really know what they might rip from the underwater world. This bird has managed to snatch an invasive lizardfish from the surface and this fish wasn’t going without putting up a huge fight. It managed to draw blood.

I don’t know about you but I have found many berry filled piles of raccoon poo. I mean hundreds of times and I’ve always wondered where they were getting those berries! Now I know! Somewhere high in a cypress tree at sunrise.

This is a little blue heron, and that is a very large crab. I’ll admit I have no idea what kind of crab it is, but I’m gonna call it a face hugger. In case you are wondering how this bird is going to eat this crab, well it’s not pretty. first, the bird is going to stab it.

Sound on. Have you ever found yourself in a staring contest with a Great Horned Owl? For me, this is what happens every single time. At least in my head. #funwithvideoedits #halloweennothalloween

Long sleeve Glad I’m not a Fish UV protective shirts are in!

Falling out of the sky at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour is just the beginning for this Osprey. Once submerged it must not only find a way to get back in the air but it must also be able to take its precious cargo along with it. Glad I’m not a fish!

Eagles use their talons for just about every method of communication. From courting to defending and everything in between. Even an attempted high four or a friendly game of Pat-a-cake.

Watching eagles gracefully land on oysters never gets old and sometimes there is a surprise at the end!

Great Blue Herons are generally solitary birds but there are times when you will see what appears to be teamwork. This is the only time I have ever seen what appears to be a couple of friends trying to wrangle up breakfast together.

Egrets don’t typically catch big fish but when the mullet are flowing, eating a candy bar sized fish that is bigger than your head isn’t a rare thing. Nothing like being eye to eye with your food. Glad I’m not a fish!

During the height of the great fish migration, nothing stops the Osprey from participating. This bird makes a quick detour when it realizes a surfer is right in its flight path and check out the look on the surfers face. Priceless. Glad I’m not a fish.

Excuse me passengers may I have your attention please? Here on Great Blue airlines we put the wings in your flight without a flight. Whether you choose to fly first class with our patented stowaway pouches, courtesy of stork enterprises.

Sometimes the Osprey are so close I need an umbrella! Filming them when they are this close is extremely difficult too and I only ever manage to get a very small amount of footage but it’s always worth it. Glad I’m not a fish!
