Osprey over the Firehole River

While photographing the walls of Excelsior Geyser for an upcoming wayside exhibit, Jim Peaco (Park Photographer) noticed an osprey flying high above Midway Geyser Basin. It was spending quite a lot of time hovering while it fished the Firehole River. After completing his assignment Jim set up his tripod on the footbridge and took these photos. He was using a Canon EOS A2e camera with a 600mm f4 lens and a 1.4X teleconverter.
