It has been so interesting over the last few years observing the Osprey along with other parts of nature, and how they are changing as the next generation comes to life. For the last 3 years we have had a young Osprey, which sits on top of our cedar tree and takes the easy way to catch fish. He simply drops down to the water, catches an unsuspecting fish, and off he goes with his catch! I got some pictures this evening. What an amazing planet we live on!
