I captured this image at the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge near Stevensville Montana, USA last July. Montana in the summer of 2007 was plagued by wildfires, and there were several burning within 20 miles of this location. I was fortunate to be able to watch this osprey family grow up over the course of the summer.
