Just because

A fledgling osprey sits patiently in its nest on the waters of Langley Air Force Base, Va., as its mother prepares to fly off in search of food, July 22, 2013. Since 2001, the 1st Fighter Wing’s Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard Team has monitored and translocated several ospreys in an attempt to reduce the risk of bird strikes to aircraft.
