Artist's Description
The Osprey's feet have evolved into deadly fish-catching machines. Their talons are completely round which makes them ideal for piercing deeply into the flesh. Their outer toe is reversible, allowing it to grasp fish with two toes on each side of the body instead of three on one and one on the other as almost all other raptors. (Owls are the other exception.) This allows them to get a much firmer grip on their prey. They even have backwards-facing scales on their toes which act as barbs to help them hold on to slippery fish.
About Darin Volpe
I have been photographing the things I see for over thirty years. A resident of San Luis Obispo County, I'm lucky to have many excellent photo destinations within a few minutes' or hours' drive. Beyond the local area, I have traveled throughout California and the western United States, visited far away American destinations such as Chicago, New York, Florida, and Alaska, and international destinations in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. My photography varies from Architecture to Industrial Art to Nature to Wildlife and I'm sure you'll find something suitable for your home or office. Visit my blog
