Hi Ray, nice altercation, The image seems very underexposed to me. I used Shadow/Highlight with Amount 43, Tonal Width, 53 Radius, 91, cropped the bird's left wing to match the other one and some off the top and corrected the yellows color cast in ColorBalance, adding bit of blue.
Hope you like it.

Fabs:

Your rendition does brighten the image a bit. But on my monitor it also intensifies a blue halo effect on the tops of the wings of the bird with its wings spread. This halo is also present in the original posting but is much less pronounced there.

I would try to reduce or eliminate that halo.:)

Fab's repost has covered my suggestion. Looks like part of a fishing rod in the nest!

This photo goes back a ways, but I was wondering if anyone noticed the fishing pole blended into nest.
Tony Whitehead did. thanks all who looked.

Well, ospreys are known to be good at fishing. Now we know why! :p
