Terrific timing Yves. You really captured the amazing beauty of the Osprey with this image. I could watch these guys all day. Nicely captured.

Thanks Debra. Your comment is well appreciated.

Beautiful wing shot with great very nice detail too. Judging by the fluffy looking feathers he appears to be a young bird just learning to fish and provide for himself. What a great capture, Yves.

Description
I made a special trip to the Drummond Hydro dam on the Magog river. That section of the river is frequently used by lots of ospreys or eagles to fish their meal. That one made the usual circles pretty close to the water surface and made 2 dives without success. It when to dry and rest on a high branch of the river bank where I took that pretty nice pose. Horizontal soft sunlight of the late afternoon.
