Osprey Nest-Central Florida Area.

All three have fledged but still are not catching fish and feeding themselves. At this point the adult is bringing in freshly caught fish and dropping it at nest hoping the youngsters will know what to do with it. Remember they are used to having mom tear pieces off for them and feeding them. It's a process for sure.

Awesome capture Kathy. I like that you were able to get all three youngsters. I suggest a little warmer WB here to soften the harsh light. Osprey sure are amazing to watch!

Great action. Like everything about this shot.

Great decisive moment here Kathy. I like that you included a layer of background color to "ground" the image and give it some context.
