I Told You Never To Come Back To the Nest Empty-Taloned

We went to the Waite Ranch yesterday with way too short a lens for what we saw. Way across the river we watched as a male osprey approached a female sitting on a partially built nest. He kept trying to land either on her back or the nest and she kept chasing him away. I liked this shot because she is clearly yelling at him! Best on black if you want to see her expression.
Thanks for the visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Wonderful! You’re right about the black bringing her face out. Wonderful. Don’t you hate when you don’t have the right lens at the right time?! I was bummed this morning when I’d left my wide angle behind. I think this lens worked perfectly for you here!
