The female juvenile is taking off. Her crop is bursting from fish, recently eaten. Fishing must be good at Guelph Lake. Dad still feeds them, Mom might have left already.

The lighting is the best on this one, coupled with a great take off pose ... good stuff!

Great takeoff pose and good-looking juvenile, Karl. I particularly like the eye color at that stage.

a nice take on this take-off captured, it's all sharp from wing tips to the claws, well done.
