Taking Flight!

This osprey sat in a tree momentarily before all of a sudden taking flight! It was a tough image to capture! I figured it must have spotted something that looked like food. If so, they are like the eagle, having tremendous capabilities when it comes to vision.

I couldn't find any information as to how the osprey's vision compares with that of an eagle. If you are aware of any information on this, I would love to know. They are fascinating birds!

Great capture of this beautiful osprey! V
Osprey's are fishermen, so I imagine they have keen eyesight.

I like how you captured that wing in motion, and the eye, too, which is definitely fixed on something.
