Papa Osprey

I had to make a return trip this evening to see if he had come back. He had but was perched quite a distance down the pond. This is really cropped so it is best viewed large.

Thank you so much for your views and comments.

Great capture! I love his wings spread! Do you think he's drying them, or did he take off just after this? Very cool!

[Rick Schies]

He looks like quite the model

@lynnb He was stretching and then went into flight which I tried to capture too but could not get the focus right.
