Raptor sunset

What started out as an evening of tagging horseshoe crabs during mating season ended up being an evening of photographing along the Connecticut shoreline at dusk. The tagging event was scheduled to start at 7:30 and last an hour, but I think word spread through the crab community and they decided to come out later to party, after we left.

Photographing the sun setting over water on the East coast is a challenge, but there are enough inlets and marshes to make it interesting. I found this pair of nesting Osprey on a platform above a salt marsh adjacent to the Audubon Society of Connecticut's Milford, facility. One posed and the other couldn't be bothered.
