Description
I have spent many hours shooting this osprey. She lives on fish alone. Ospreys have barbed pads on the soles of their feet that help them grip fish, they even turn the fish so it faces forward, like a torpedo, while they're flying to be as aerodynamic as possible! She perches most of the day on a dead branch beside the intracoastal waterway where she fishes for her food. This shot was captured in the afternoon when the sun lit her feathers nicely, showing her beautiful mahogany colored wings.
