Guardian

Lighthouse, Sanibel, Florida

The male Osprey is guarding the nest from a tree that is very close. A crow was harassing the female in the nest with young. The male returned from hunting with a fish and left it for the female and young. As soon as he appeared the crow made a hasty retreat. He sat in the tree for more than an hour watching over his family.

It was late in the day and the sun made beautiful highlights.

Beautiful Portrait of Dad guarding Mom and the kids. The Dad Osprey is a great provider while Mom "stays at home with the kids."
