Touchdown

We took a drive to Piscataway National Park, located on the Maryland side of the Potomac River, where we saw several ospreys and a couple of other birds, including bald eagles, cormorants and a cardinal.

One more osprey capture for now. I have one of another osprey that I’ll post later.

Nice timing to get the moment of touchdown. I like the simplicity of the image with a clean background and the fact that the osprey's eye is visible.
