Juvenile Osprey takes first flight

Well, it may or may not have been its very first but it was certainly one of its first. We found this natural nest with two young ones in it. With a stiff headwind blowing, one of them decided it was a prime opportunity to test its wings. Three times in a row it rose above the nest, barely having to flap thanks to the wind. It was a lot of fun to watch. Taken near Grand Lake, Colorado.
