An Osprey Attends to her Young After Fishing for Food
In Sequim we have many raptors to photograph but rarely do we see osprey, and that’s what makes seeing them elsewhere quite special, at least for me.
So while I found this nest along the Riverwalk in Sanford, Florida, another lovely city, I was practically tripping over myself to get a few shots and fortunately, this avian mama was happy to oblige.
Not only did she lovingly attend to her young, and to the nest, but she swept down to grab a passing fish before I could say, “hold that pose”. And although she came up empty this time, her tenacity was incredible, along her commitment to her family.
And I’m sure the same is with all mother’s – although not always equipped with the resources, the commitment is ever present, and should be recognized. So Happy Mother’s Day mamas, and may you spend the day being celebrated and may you too be happy to pose!
