- Osprey fledgling (female) waiting for her sibling to show up... or perhaps mom or dad bringing a meal to the nest.
- She occasionally scanned the skies for them and chirped loudly to try to get their attention should they happen to be within earshot.
- The mid- to late-afternoon sun and brilliant blue skies, with only a few wispy clouds, made for rich colors in the Osprey's plumage and its characteristic bright orange eyes; they become yellow in adulthood.
- Although both siblings are able to fly, they are not yet able to fish for themselves, so mom and dad still bring them a meal to dine on.
