I was surprised to find this pretty lady hanging out at a lake on Saturday.  By now most Osprey have started their annual trip to their winter grounds in Mexico and South America.  This young one apparently missed her flight or has decided the cooler seasonal weather here in Colorado isn’t so bad.  After catching a fish from the lake, she did a nice flyby as if to show it off then landed in a tree and dined.
