Schwabacher Landing view there in the Grand Teton National Park as the day was heading towards sunset. An amazing scene to behold under these conditions.

This osprey is landing into the wind. By spreading its wings, it creates drag to slow down. Too much drag would make it suddenly drop. So, it opens its wing feathers to allow enough air to pass through to land correctly.

It is Friday and the weekend is upon us! Have a great one~!
