Wow. I can't tell you how much time I spent casing out Osprey nests trying to find one that I see the chicks. This is a great perspective and you captured the moment. #7491801Susan Patton May 06, 2009
Thank you Bruce. I was thrilled with Mama, the chick was a bonus. #7493616Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
