This is a juvenile Osprey stretching his wings and striking poses. I came across this youngster at the Lido Beach Passive Nature Area in Lido Beach.

He, or she, is only newly fledged, and is quite new to this whole flying thing. Also, being a youngster, it needs to work on looking “cool”. We’ve all been there. This young one is just working on its “moves”. Again, we’ve all been there. How many of you remember Jordache jeans? How many of you are cringing at that memory?  🙂 I, myself, am embarrassed that I remembered how to spell Jordache.
