We saw the osprey first, perched on a phone pole. This was on our way out to the fishing hole. He is very aware that we were there and was watching us intently. From this perch, he’s a short distance from the river and our initial thought was that he had been watching the river for fish. Ospreys are masters at fishing and if he saw one, he’d have swooped down, caught it, and returned to the perch to eat it.
Would love to see these in person. I watch live webcams a lot.
We have a LOT of Ospreys around here. :))
