An osprey perched on the bare tip of a spruce rising above a stand of birches, lit by warm low morning sun. The bird stands in profile facing left, showing its white head with a dark eye stripe, pale underside and dark brown back and wings. Behind it, an out-of-focus mountain forest slope fills the frame in hazy blue-green.
