Nice emotional shot Debra. The feathers at the wings tip are just charming. The tail shown this way is majestic. And guided by the soul you click just at the right moment to show us all the grace you see in that mother.

Thanks Yves. I believe this nest is a younger Osprey couple. I am not sure if she is more at ease leaving the nest while young ones are in it because there is ground activity in this area 6 days a week. This couple had one chick last year and hopefully the two this year survive to make the trip south in the fall. I will keep you posted.j

Awesome capture Debra.. the chicks look like they're thriving and you've given us a beautiful view of the mother Osprey in flight plus that incredible nest. What a great shot!!

Description
Borland Construction Pitt has two chicks. This mother Osprey feels comfortable enough to take short fly outs from the nest. It is very difficult to photograph this nest as this gravel pitt is an active pitt and no one is allowed on the property. Heatherdale Road is quite a distance from the nest and the brush is growing up pretty high along the road.
