July 18, 2009 Photograph, Week Six, Osprey Chick Taking a Nose Dive (Pandion haliaetus).  Occoquan Bay NWR, Woodbridge, Virginia, © 2020. Maybe it will get that right some day. Also note the milky look of the left chick's eye (compare with previous photo).  This is caused by the nictitating membrane flicking across the eye.
