This pair of Osprey were mates with chicks (one is visible). Every morning the female would await her mate bringin fish to the nest. This photo was taken, on a tripod, with a Caon 20D and a Canon 300mm f2.8 lens with a 1.4X tamron teleconverter. AV mode 1/3200 sec f5 -2/3 exposure compensation. I just love the way the males wings seem to hug his mate!
