This male Osprey was returning to its mate and its nest on this day in Longmont, Colorado. He was absolutely gorgeous and this image showcases the striking coloring and large wingspan on these raptors.
This image was taken on May 17, 2015. By now the nests should have sizeable young ones in them – something which I hope to investigate this weekend.
There’s a lot more pics of the Osprey I saw on my previous visit in the gallery here.
