Description
This female Osprey is a mom who just blasted out of her nest with three babies, to let another female osprey know she's not welcome. The other female had been flying nearby, and mama was not happy. I love the power and intent in this image!
From Cornell Ornithology's website: "Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons."
