Master Sgt. Brandon Hess, superintendent of Air Combat Command’s Maintenance Training and Course Development program, returns a recently-banded, fledgling osprey to its nest on Langley Air Force Base, Va., July 22, 2013. Banding ospreys provides researchers with an easy way to glean data about the bird they normally wouldn’t have access to. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Jarad A. Denton/Released)
