Sharp Hooked Claws
Sharp Hooked Claws A bird’s talons are the sharp, hooked claws at the end of the toes. Birds have one talon on every toe, and they may differ in overall shape, curvature, and thickness depending on how the bird will use its talons and how worn individual talons may be.
I was walking along a pier and this beautiful Osprey was perched on a pole. It wasn’t to spooked as I got closer and closer so I was able to get a wonderful photo of this beautiful bird.
On tomorrow’s post I will show you this bird going into a head dive to catch a fish. It actually went full body into the water. I thought they just swooped down like an Eagle to get their fish.

Those claws sure are lethal looking when you see them up close – you did a good job capturing not only the osprey but his claws that he uses to catch his prey.
A good look at the tools of the trade!
They are quite the claws. He was on a post on the board walk and was not in any hurry to leave as I walked towards him.
Great shot 📷
Thank you very much 😊
You are most welcome ❤️
These claws are amazing! However I would not like to make their aquaintance!
Yes, they are definitely made for holding onto the fish. 😊
wonderful! Great images
Thank you very much 😊
Thank you so much 😊
Fabulous photos, Sandra. I think that Osprey have rounded talons, unlike other Raptors, because of the way they catch and carry the fish head-first as they fly back to their “dining table“.
I read that about them. Amazing how they know how to do that. 😊
Yes! It really is!
I love that with the clouds in the background!
Thank you 😊
Thank you Sandra. Great photographs! The majority of people used to be much closer to the natural world. They saw it up close. Now the vast majority is far apart from it. These photographs you take gives us all a great look at what exists all around us that most never see. Once again, you have revealed more of what is hidden in plain sight. This osprey is obviously designed. God created it for a distinct purpose. The close up of the talons make this so clear. At a distance we don’t notice. But here it is like something one would see in a user manual. The closer we look at the entire bird we see incredible perfection from said talons to perfect eyesight for its purpose, the ability to navigate swiftly and easily through the air overcoming and adjusting for winds and weather, diving into the water, and emerging again with no problem with prey in tow. What a magnificent creature.
Thank you for showing us this. And on a personal note, thank you for reading my work. Keep up the great work you do. We were all created for a purpose. I know this is your life’s mission and you are dedicated to it. Blessings to you
Thank you very much RJ, I believe this is my purpose, to share nature, creation up close. I am in awe as I see all these birds and other wild life in these photos myself. I was listening to a preacher this morning talking about this very subject. That we need to stop watching so much TV, news etc. And get back to watching nature. There are so many things to see and learn from creation around us, plus it will lighten your heart and make one smile. I know it does for me. And thank you for sharing the word of our Father with your post. He uses us for His will when we are willing to hear it. Have a wonderful day RJ.
