Excellent An osprey returning home after a successful expedition. A Fish Dinner by HarryT Art contest contest entry

In a cloudless sky a lone Osprey Winging above a clear blue lake Deliberately circling, seeking a meal Target sighted, she begins her descent Wings swept back, head pointed down Plunges into sun-kissed water, snatching her prey Talons claw deep into the back of a large mouth bass She surges up, water streams from powerful wings Climbing high, she soars to her shoreline habitat Chicks whistle their hunger with high-pitched chirps Cycle of life continues near a rocky, lakeshore beach   Author Notes Based upon a photograph entitled, "Fish Dinner" by dalebraatz posted on FanArt, August 2014.
