Now that I look at it..I think you are correct...the bird was a quite a distance from the boat we were in. There are a lot of Osprey's in our part of the woods, so it makes sense.
Here is an early morning shot [approx. 7am] a few years back...fog rising from the water...sun coming up...2 young lads and their dad in a boat fishing for native brook trout...doesn't get any better than this!
