I have no idea what has happened to her foot. She was like his last year and has returned and has no problem fishing. Pretty amazing!!

Amazing detailed close-up. Poor thing. I wonder what happened to her. V

Terrific capture Tom. Amazing that it does so well with the one foot injured. Would be interesting to see how it would land on a branch with the good foot clutching a fish.

Excellent capture of a determined and powerful one good legged osprey. Otherwise looks quite healthy.

Looks like she got her talons pulled out somehow. Great to see her still thriving. Awesome capture!
