Ospray with fish in his talons often mistaken for eagles. They are both big birds. So much fun to watch dive for their supper.
Coots love to dive for supper. I love watching them. We have about 400 on the lake right now. funny white beak.My 'DREAM COME TRUE" location in my new home is just a wonderful peaceful place. I could watch the water all day without radio, tv, or other noise. The Ospray has been such a great source of joy. It flys and climbs high above the lake,, scanning for the small movement of a fish, flaps his wings and dives straight down and grabs it catch in its talons. The only bird that does this. They often are mistaken for eagles, but they have a white underbelly but their nest are made of twigs in high trees like cottonwoods which is just what the eagles do also.
