Great capture samsilverhawk! Where was it taken?

Thanks Conrad Nay. I got this lucky shot near the River Road bridge in Clark Fork, Idaho one summer day. Each year, ospreys build their nests atop the old steel structure there. This female had at least one chick in the nest, so I tried not to linger too long as my presence disturbed her.

A truly wonderful shot. I too, witnessed an osprey nest on a recent bike ride in PEI, Canada. However, after being dive-bombed by terns just a few days earlier, I decided not to stop for a photo opp. As a matter of fact, I rode away as quietly and as unassuming as I was able to, keeping one eye on Ma who was keeping both eyes on me...
