I arrived at the Osprey nest to find the male eating a fish. Typically you will find the male eating away from the nest. The female was actively calling for him to return to the nest. When she makes a lot of noise it can also be a signal that danger is in the area. I had scanned the sky and did not see any bald eagles or other threats. The male continued to eat the head of the fish and then returned to the nest for the female to feed the chicks.

o you a good one their you hade good timing with them
Like very much the simplicity of that shot Debra. Nothing to distract the eye that focus on the action. Sharp details and a lovely story. Agree with Heather, He is holding the fish a very precarious way. Just that adds up to the interest. Well done.
I know if they are like bald eagles, Debra the male needs to eat some away from the nest or he may not get any. The females can be quite demanding when raising young and even when they're not as they are bigger than the male. He seems to be a good provider.
An excellent view of the Osprey getting his meal and it shows how strong and well suited his talons must be to hold the fish in such a precarious position. A really interesting image that tells a story Debra and well photographed too.
