Osprey and Chicks

An Osprey mama with two of her three chicks (you can see the beak of the third one in the lower left). These chicks had not yet fledged back in July and were hanging out with mama waiting for daddy to bring back some more fish. Ospreys eyes are a dark blue when they hatch, but after a few days the turn to the beautiful orange/red you see in this image. At the age of maturity which is around two years, the eyes will then turn yellow.
