Osprey - nice dive but no fish - Slideshow

Osprey on the BitterrootThe osprey were very active. They recently returned to the area and are working on their nests and looking for food. We saw at least 4 pair on the float today. The photos begin with the osprey hunting for fish, hovering, then diving in the water, emerging, and finally flying down river.

This osprey did not emerge with a fish, not even after a few tries. But the dive was amazing and it was close enough to get some pretty good shots.
