20150814 096 Osprey juv.jpg

Ottawa West

One of the three juvenile Osprey attempting to land back on the nest after one of its initial flights. It looked as though it was coming in too low and would crash into the steel bracket supporting the electrical wires. However, the young Osprey was able to brake in time and flap itself up and on to the nest.

Hitting that coupling would not have been a pretty sight; nice sharp image

A great image capturing just one of the hazards of learning to fly.
