Osprey Taking Off from the Nest

As anyone who has followed me for a while knows, I love photographing birds in flight and ones doing something interesting. I really like how this osprey both has his talons extended and the wing tip feathers spread so you can see his eye and beak. He is flying off his nest after delivering fish to mom and baby.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

THat’s quite a special look and stellar among your many great shots. So clear, and great combination of details against the deep blue of the sky.

This quite a capture, I love the detail from the underside. I would not want to tangle with those talons.

Wow - This is terrific, Jane - love that those talons are so clear - and I'm not sure I've seen those tail feathers spread like this. Love it.

Great timing.

Excellent shot - and look how close their nest is to that insulator - do they not get injured because they can't Earth out?

[Rob Z]

Just had another look - I love how you caught his head between the feathers!
