20150812-2 113 SERIES - Osprey (Mom with lunch).jpg

Ottawa West

Two images of Mom bringing a fish for the three young as a reward for their several maiden flights successfully completed.

Top image: Mom coming in with a whole (not headless) fish for a change.


A one-footed landing. It looks like she will land on the fish, with the other foot used as balance or to grab on to the nest.
