Osprey on a branch.

An eye-level medium shot shows an osprey perched on a mossy, leafless branch of a tree. The bird faces forward and looks directly into the camera with a stern expression, with the dark-grey sky of an approaching storm. The osprey is a large bird, around two-thirds white underneath and on the head. The osprey has a white face marked by a horizontal line, two inches thick. The osprey's dark beak is hooked downward and is shiny dark gray in color. The eyes are bright-yellow and piercing. The osprey is perched on a series of crisscrossing thin branches near the branch's end, and green moss grows out of the crevices in the bark. The osprey's back is a solid, rich brown color. The wings look large but do not spread out. The bird's feet and legs are white, and it holds the branch tightly. Behind the osprey's head, dark-gray rainclouds approach, threatening a storm. The top of the tree is out of view in the photograph.
