Osprey Family

[Mike Sussman]

I had the opportunity to follow a family of osprey from the building of the nest until the fledgling of the three babies while living in west Georgia five years ago. Of the hundreds of photos I took, this is my favorite.

Hey Mike,

Wow, no wonder this is your favorite! What a cool shot, and what a great experience that had to have been to have followed this family.

Interesting collection of expressions - the family that smiles together.....

 

[Ben Egbert]

Great catch and you got them very young, I have only seen them like this when the young were almost as big as adults.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

What a fantastic opportunity & catch! I love the expressions!

 

[Mike Mancil]

Good timing and fine detail. From the open beaks it must’ve been a hot day?

Great picture, must be waiting for the other parent to get back with food (open beaks) I've seen quite a few here in So. Calif. but never a nest, very cool !!!
