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!!
