Osprey prepares for landing

Scrolling through pics to find one to post this evening and I came across this one taken in April.  A bit of an unusual orientation (portrait) but I like it.  It seems to help emphasize the Osprey’s sizable wingspan (up to six feet) and the view of its talons shows one of the reasons these raptors are so adept at snagging fish.
