Caption   An Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) brings a freshly-caught fish to its mate. As can be seen in this photograph, Ospreys have reversible outer toes that let them grasp a fish with two talons on either side. This pair's large nest, composed of sticks and Spanish Moss, was located near Eco Pond in Florida's Everglades National Park.
