I bring you flowers

[Grace Scalzo]

I am sharing this image with you even though it has many technical faults which are apparent. What I like about it is the flowers that he is bringing her and I hope that you do too. Their nest is near the Long Island sound. He flew toward the sound and returned with these roses.

Wow , I didn't know an Osprey could be so romantic. Now if you get a shot of him smoking a cig. the story would be complete.;););) Nice to see them back and a fine capture as well. Glad the wind storm didn't destroy this nest.

Grace, Beautiful in-coming pose with lovely underwing details. I like the light coming through the tail and wings. I have never seen any bird carrying roses before. Very nice capture. I like it :)

Your timing was awesome Grace and I love the story this image tells. Excellent detail and as Denise the light coming through the feathers is just lovely. Well done !

Better that the used pamper he brought last year !!

Really nice moment captured.
