Mom osprey has much better eyes than I do, as even with binoculars I couldn't find what had her so spooked that she was cowering and covering her two chicks. Moments before she had been feeding them by breaking off pieces of a fish her mate had brought to her. Then all of the sudden she was in this defensive posture. Whatever it was flew by, as she was soon back to feeding her brood.
