I took this picture just before the Osprey migrated south for the winter. The adult male is bringing his fish to share with his son. The adult female had left a week or so earlier leaving the male osprey to teach his son to fish. I had to share this picture with you because of the close bond that the male osprey does have with his son after the female osprey has left.

This is a great shot Debra and the storyline is amazing. I never knew this and for you to be able to capture the story in your picture is outstanding.

Super shot at your beloved osprey Debra. Glad to have news from the nest. Both birds are beautyful on that blue sky. The 600mm shows very nice details. The young looks as big as the father and they are late going south. I hope he doesn't have a problem and he can fly.

A beautiful capture of the male osprey feeding his son, Debra. It really shows the care and dedication that the male birds put into raising their young. I've witnessed how the male woodpeckers tend to their young when they bring them to the feeders for the first few times and it never fails to impress.
