Female Osprey decided to take a look a me before flying to the nest with the remnants of a fish. I am pretty sure that they are only raising one chick this season.

Super bird in flight shot Debra. Framing tight shows well that queen of the air. Color patern of the underside is good even in the backlit and the lighting of her face is magic. Peace of cake raising only one kid this year.

Stunning action shot.. I love how she fills the frame with her impressive wing span and the clarity of detail you captured here. What a beautiful bird and image Debra! I hope their lone chick makes out okay, that's quite a drop from the three they raised successfully a year ago.
