Description
It never ceases to amaze me how ceaselessly and how hard birds work to look after their babies, from the time they lay the eggs until the babies fledge from the nest and even afterwards! This Osprey parent was busy bringing a delicious breakfast to his family (whose backs were turned so they are not in the picture).
From Cornell Ornithology's website: "Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons."
