Looking For The Next Meal

Description

I've so enjoyed watching the osprey fish here where we live and I'm going to miss them, as I understand they don't stay more than a few weeks before moving on south. Such a magnificent bird. I love watching them collapse their wings high above, to drop straight down into the water (ker-plunk, with a huge splash) on some unsuspecting fish. Then they lift their wings high and lift off (like their namesake in the Air Force), a fish securely caught in one talon. Often when flying off they shake their bodies like a dog does when coming out of the water, leaving a fine mist in the air.
