 An Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) flies directly toward the viewer, talons gripping a freshly caught fish, its fierce eyes locked ahead in a dramatic display of hunting mastery.

Closes I have come to the deadline to submit, 40 minutes. I went to the Wood Lake Nature Center specifically to photograph an Osprey with a goldfish for this challenge. I got a few, but I was hoping for better. I'll see how it goes.
