Mom and Babe Osprey! by rickster549

Mom and Babe Osprey!

Although the babe has really grown, it still seemed to be under the watchful eye of Mom. Dad was sitting on a limb just outside of the view for this shot and had a pretty good size fish in it's claws. Thought it might drop it in the nest, but he just kept flying off with it and then would return. Never did even see dad start eating the fish. And mom in the background, kept flapping her wings, as if to try to get the kid out of the nest. It finally worked, at least for a short time.
They get pretty big pretty quickly - what a nice catch of the youngster.
