This bird’s plumage always steals the spotlight—and rightfully so—but it’s rare to catch them in the act of feeding. It’s a spectacle in its own right. With their spoon-shaped bill slightly open, they sweep side to side, feeling for the tiniest vibrations in the water. When they do, snap! The trap closes, and in a flash, the minnow is tossed back like a piece of popcorn. On to the next. Nature at its finest. | Mark Smith Photography

The Osprey is still my favorite bird to photograph and film. Their abilities never stop blowing my mind, and this one? Absolutely incredible.From the high-speed, feather-perfect dive, to the insane precision of snatching a needlefish right off the surface.Even with that slippery, lively cargo, it lifts off like it’s nothing. No one else around. Just me, the bird, and a reminder that nature doesn’t stop performing. Glad I’m not a fish! | Mark Smith Photography

Every once in a while, a camera comes along that helps enhance the way I capture these amazing birds. The Sony A1 ll is the perfect example. This shot is challenging in many ways for any of today’s cameras, but the A1 ll handled it like a champ. This might sound like an ad, but it isn’t. I like to give credit where credit is due, and Sony has helped pioneer modern photography / videography by continuing to innovate and push tech further than I could have ever imagined. I know people will say it’
