The story behind the shot
Another one from DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. This osprey came right over us, close enough to fill the frame with wings spread and its head turned down at us. No time to do anything but point up and hope the focus held.
An osprey banks directly overhead against a pale blue sky, wings and tail fanned wide, its barred brown and white underside and dark eye mask clearly visible as it looks down toward the camera.
