After searching around unsuccessfully for moose or other notable critters, and just before I was back at the car... I noticed a pair of osprey diving for fish. I have a ton more images, but from maybe 1/2 mile away I snapped a series of pics with one diving and catching a trout. That same bird flew (essentially) directly at me and came maybe 15 feet over my head. I missed dozens of the closest shots due to being out of focus because I had my settings wrong. A few pics came out really nice, but I've never had such a perfect close encounter like that with an osprey. Hopefully I get another chance because I royally screwed up the potential of this opportunity. Still super fun and still pretty happy with the shots that did work out.
