This was filmed at Saint Mary's Lake, this Osprey has a nest across from the lake on a light post at a baseball field. This is the 2nd day seeing this Osprey since returning from migration. Its great that he caught a fish, I almost got underneath her, but as soon as I laid down from the crouching position I was at, she flew off into the trees to the right of the lake! I continued to film her until sundown where she roosted for the night! I continued to crawl closer, and some leaves were obstructing the view before I got underneath this Osprey. At 2:45, she flew off. I didn't say a word but then I started laying down. That may have had an effect on me spooking her.
