Very nice capture, Eric. Hopefully the storm didn't blow them away.
Last year, I was photographing a couple of Osprey shortly before a storm (there were no chicks that I could see). When the storm passed, the first chance I got I went to see how they fared; unfortunately the nest was blown completely away.
