Marty’s photo of the day #5027: I just missed photographing this osprey as it tried to grab a fish off the surface of the water. After that, I watched and shot photos as it sat on this branch, waiting for another opportunity. Alas, the bird had more patience waiting for another fish to surface than the patience our dog, Nellie, had waiting for Deb and me to take her on the walk we’d promised her.
