Osprey goes eye-to-eye with its meal

I dunno. I would kind of have a hard time eating a meal that was looking back at me. 😉

Going back to May at Colorado’s St Vrain State Park for this image. We were on our first RV trip of the season, just sticking close to home and shaking off the cobwebs after a long winter’s slumber. The osprey had arrived for the season so, naturally, they were my primary photo subject.

As we sat around enjoying an adult beverage in the evening, I didn’t have to go far as this pretty lady brought her dinner right to a tree behind our rig. She didn’t mind me sticking a camera in her face although another osprey did pester her to share the meal.
