Two fish on one dive. That's a shot that will never leave my memory. Outstanding.

Huge respect for you using you own content for this instead of curiosity stream clips etc like the rest of people on KZfaq. The level of detail of your shots is amazing!!!!

This is “planet Earth” level of story telling and video quality. A seriously good job.

Every now and again an absolute gem pops up in your KZfaq list. Today was one of those days. Great vid and that shot with Osprey and jumping fish in the background WOW!!!

“a feast of fresh finicky fish” - your writing skills are way up there with your photography skills. Somewhere an old English teacher of yours is smiling! Great documentary!!

This is easily one of the best wildlife stories I have every seen! I could feel your blood racing capturing these incredible sights... and with such detail too! You are an inspiration Mark, I keep telling me friends about you. And now that I have moved to Canada, I look forward to chronicling some of Mother Nature's wonders as well. Love your stories and your high art. Well done sir!

The shot near the end with the Osprey's wings fully extended high above its head looks angelic, impossible, so symetrical, once in a lifetime, and award winning. Thanks

The whole thing was my favorite part.

I loved how the osprey with the two fish shook himself, to get the water off, just like a dog!

The only thing more amazing than the events of the day is the fact that such a skilled photographer (and story teller) was out there to capture it! Thanks for sharing this awesome footage. It’s a priviledge to watch!

Ospreys are awesome birds. So quick and agile.

It’s amazing so few have witnessed ospreys first hand , one of my favorite birds .

Outstanding video Mark! Visuals, narration, music, WOW! Just WOW!

Fantastic photography!. Who knew that Dana Carvey was also a great photographer?

Four 10. One for narration, one for music, one for the video and one for the images. If it would be an Olympic for bird photography, the gold medal would be yours 100%.

That last shot of the bird catching two fish at a single time was the best for me😧😮😀wonderful and beautiful at the same time

Mark, that was just spectacular! Thanks so much for sharing.

Great work, really enjoyed this. I spent 27 years working as camera service technician both military and civilian. I love to see what a highly skilled photographer can produce with today's technology.

GREAT JOB, MARK . THANKS FOR ENJOYING YOUR QUALITY REPORTS WITH FANTASTIC PHOTOGRAPHIES .

OMGosh...Dude! Epic! This Native Floridian Beach Bunny is blown away! Awesome from start to finish, especially the double-fisted fishing at the end! And all a clear example of why I never surfed during mullet migration!

What an incredible presentation! The Osprey has mesmerized me all my life. I've been fortunate to see mullet runs several times in my life while growing up along the beach. What amazing photography! Thank you!

Amazing stuff! My favorite segment was seeing the fish flailing around INSIDE the pelican's pouch! Also love the "shake off" the Osprey with two fish does. Thank you.

The majesty of Nature. Thank you Mr. Smith, fine work.

This was planet earth worthy! Badass! Won the internet Sunday!

Simply stunning! Both the natural event and your capturing of it. Thank you. I know again why I look at so many KZfaq videos, to find a gem like this!

"Luck favors those who are prepared." Some incredible images there, Mark - WOW!

I live in Pennsylvania and I was lucky enough to take part in an Osprey reintroduction program my neighbor got me into. We got to feed the fledglings with donated catch from boat launches. When you watch a immature bird shred a fish like wet tissue paper in person you gain a whole new understanding. It was more than impressive.

Right place at the right time, with the right person to capture the moment. Amazing.........;)

Just marvelous, so thrilling! I love how well you explain the action we’re seeing.

Love it. So many good moments, the fish bleeding out the water,, the bird flighting with the to fishes. The sun raise was great. Nice colours.

I liked the two-part motifs used in the music. They drove the plot very well.

Again I have to say my favorite part of your video is the beginning, then everything after!! And yes, I DO share your videos and some of my friends have even wanted to join your school to learn photography from you. Don't pass on Amanda, she is an amazing young lady and I respect her as much as I love her!! If anyone would be a good student, she certainly would be!!

Those shots are amazing you rarely get a day of shooting like this, the pics and footage you obtained were top notch. I bet you felt on top of the World for days after shooting this! Thanks so much for sharing seriously good stuff.

Favorite part of course was "skiing " osprey, as he wiggles his shoulders. With my first DSLR, EOS 10D, I followed Arthur Morris, "Birds as art". You have filled that spot with the wonders of new technology allowing you to showcase your amazing talents. THANKS!

Man, what a once in a lifetime experience! Stunning photos and video. Thanks for the upload.

You are the Osprey whisperer! I enjoy your videos like no one else. Your narration is spot on, quick witted and keeps me on the edge of my seat. It was also great to hear you say how your arms hurt, etc. That shows your dedication and consuming desire to get ALL the shots you can while being part of the adventure in front of you! BRAVO!!!

my favourite part? the whole thing! the shots and footage are incredible and the amazing storyteller you are, you make it even more interesting to watch. thank you so much for all the effort and love you put in these videos!

How amazing this was!!! Never saw something similar! Bravo!

This guy should be a narrator for animal documentaries. Not only are the videos and stills amazing, but his commentary is as well.

The best photography I have seen in a long, long time. Thank you so much.

Absolutely brilliant. Loved this, and your 'story line' was the icing on the cake :-)

Sheesh That Thumbnail Is Great Mark!

I had to come back and watch this again, a rare thing to happen on KZfaq. Really great, thanks

love those photos of the osprey before entry. Really emphasises their talons

Wow! I can't believe how well you were able to capture that day with so much going on all around you. Action Overload! Seems like you didn't miss a single thing, just as focused as that Osprey that caught 2-fish in one go. Keep the great videos coming please.

So Awesome can't tell you how cool was this day. I love living here. see ya on the beach.

There's nobody better, Mark. You're the best!

Exceptional photography! I worked as lifeguard 1975-83 on east coast of FL. It’s great to see this again!

This was so action packed I forgot where I was. Just wasn't long enough..Thank you Mark! Marvelous footage and great shots.🙏🔥❤

My favorite part was from beginning to end

You are one of the best photographers I have ever seen. Amazing shots. I watched this video and was amazed. Those shots of the Osprey were magical. I was surprised there were so many sharks. All the photos were beautiful. Excellent job. Thank you for sharing.

Another epic combination of video, stills and commentary! Thanks

Wow man! KZfaq must be so proud of this channel! I just spent one of the best 13:40 minutes of my life! Thank you Mark!

Great video. I have a suggestion for the future. I actually thought the speed was the normal playback speed, until you mentioned 4x slow motion. It would be interesting to see the action at full speed sometimes, just to give us an idea of how fast and hectic things really are.

Great Osprey shots, the one with all the mullet in the air while the Osprey flies with a fish in it's grasp was my favorite. Thanks, Mark.

Most incredible footage I have ever seen. Totally amazing.

Great action photos as usual Mark! Wish that I could have been there to witness that. We have a similar frenzy happen on Long Island Sound in the fall when "Bunker" (aka, Manhadden) are chased by Blue Fish & Striped Bass. Nature is really amazing! 👍👍😉😉 Hope that you are doing well in FL.

I most appreciate your efforts and expertise.

What a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience! Wonderful videography and photography!

Phenomenal work !!!!

Absolutely beautiful work, even the music was perfect. The thumbnail photo is cover worthy.

I'm awestruck! Absolutely magnificent in every way. You do exceptional work. Thank you for sharing.

10:25 -- what an amazing photo. Truly breathtaking.

My favorite was the 2 fer the osprey caught. The whole thing was action packed and awesome to watch. Thanks!

Damn Mark that was your best footage ever

Totally loved the video!!!I visited a college friend who lives in the Cocoa Beach area an we spend many hours at the beach and most of it watching the Ospreys grab fish out the water. Despite spending a lot of time on beaches around the world that was my first time ever experiencing that. I've definitely grown a new appreciation for the Osprey and their giant nest!!!

Amazing footage! Thank you for putting the work in to capture all this for us.

Love ya bro 😘😘👍

Hey Mark, intense music for intense video and photos! All that was missing was a mullet haircut during a massive mullet run! 🦈

Great combination of action footage & gripping stills. That osprey with TWO fish is one for the ages. I love the still of the osprey with its talons forward!!

Awesome shots with excellent narrative you rocked it

I am japanese. I am looking forward to it every time.

FAAAAANtastic!!! So many favorite shots, especially at 2 seconds when for the first time I saw the multitude of mullets jumping out of the waves; and at 11;22 sec with Osprey with fish and background of fish. Other highlights are 6 sec. Torpin; 7;10 shark; 9.3 sec. Arrows pointing to sharks (important), 11.30 Osprey with skis" lol. Great mix of stills and action and exciting narration. I would have liked to have seen some time-stamps of when photos were taken. Luv your new hair style!!! Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant work.

Absolutely wonderful amazing incredible shots of the ospreys the whole footage was beautiful you did a wonderful job thank you

Splendid. Brilliant. The joy of that day. And a man was there who knew through study, practice, and achievement how to save some of the best of the images to share with us. Thank you.

did you upgrade to the A1 ? i am about to go get my copy in an hour.

I could be wrong but I think those where Jack crevalle and not Amber jack. Usually the Jack crevalle are the inshore species and the Amber jack is a deeper water offshore species You do stunning work !!

Mr Smith: Your work is incredible!

Wow! What an experience of a lifetime! I love the magnificent Ospreys! I wish to see one in the wild someday!

Mark you said you don’t use auto iso, how do you set up your exposure for birds? Do you have a video on that? I’ve been shooting manual at 1/2000 at widest f-stop on auto iso?

oo XX

The whole video was my favorite! Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!

Outstanding video and shots of the birds. Thank you so much for sharing incredible photography!
