Needs to practice more

Juvi osprey with catch.

Gets his catch fine but his after flight is pretty hilarious. Has yet to learn to hold fish with both feet. Almost lost balance a number of times.

1. Lift off fine


2. Starts looking around


3. Gets off balance


4. Trying to regain balance


5. Whew, that was hard work!

Great series.

That's actually the mid-air-shake to get rid of the excess water he's got on him. They do that once they get up into the air. Like a dog shaking after a bath. I love to watch them when they do that.
You timed these shots great. Meghan

Thanks Jim, Meghan.

He was fumbling. The mid air shake had already been done right after he had lifted off - missed getting that shot.

Nice series, thanks for sharing!
