Photos of the Day: An Osprey Brings Home Dinner

Posted on October 6, 2014 by Michael Rappa — 4 Comments

During my recent trip to Cape May I went on a bird watching cruise through the marshes, where I was lucky enough to capture this osprey in flight clutching a fish in its talons.

You get two photos for the price of one today. 🙂

Yellowstone National Park - August, 2017 Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone - Lower Falls viewed from Artist Point. Seems appropriate, as I count down to my upcoming trip to the actual Grand Canyon, to share a photo of a different “grand canyon” in Yellowstone National Park, featuring a majestic waterfall emptying into a stunning gorge. Of the many fascinating areas in Yellowstone, this among its most beautiful. #gorges #GrandCanyonoftheYellowstone #landscapes #NorthAmerica #Photography #rivers #roadtrips #Travel #UnitedStates #waterfalls #Wyoming #YelllowstoneFalls #YellowstoneGorge #YellowstoneNationalPark #YellowstoneRiver #LowerFalls

Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming - August, 2017 Another shot of Shoshone National Forest, taken during my long drive across the entire state of Wyoming from Yellowstone to Deadwood, South Dakota.

Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming - August, 2017 This is Bighorn National Forest, a stunning drive up and down a mountain range through spectacular scenery. It’s an area that demands a return visit some day just to spend more time basking in its breathtaking beauty.

Wildlife Loop, Custer State Park, South Dakota - September, 2017 Toward the end of my drive along Custer State Park’s Wildlife Loop, I encountered a massive field of prairie dogs. Here's one of the little critters. #animals #CusterStatePark #nature #NorthAmerica #Photography #roadtrips #scenicdrives #SouthDakota #Travel #UnitedStates #wildlife #wildlifeloop #prairiedogs
Wildlife Loop, Custer State Park, South Dakota - September, 2017 On the way to Mount Rushmore I detoured for several scenic drives, including Custer State Park’s Wildlife Loop, which takes you through rolling green hills reminiscent of the English countryside. It’s a nice, pleasant drive, worth the diversion if you have the time. This photo features an antelope (lower right) relaxing in front of some of those hills. #animals #antelope #CusterStatePark #hills #landscapes #nature #NorthAmerica #Photography #roadtrips #rollinggreenhills #scenicdrives #SouthDakota #Travel #UnitedStates #wildlife #wildlifeloop
Timberline Lodge, Mount Hood, Oregon - August, 2017 Knowing that Portland was only a 90-minute drive to Mount Hood, I couldn't resist spending my final night in Oregon at Timberline Lodge near its summit. The lodge was made famous by The Shining—Kubrick used exterior shots of the lodge to depict the Overlook Hotel. Although the interior was not used in the film, Timberline has fully embraced its Shining legacy. #historicbuildings #landscapes #mounthood #mountains #NorthAmerica #Oregon #OverlookHotel #Photography #roadtrips #theshining #TimberlineLodge #Travel #UnitedStates
