Osprey Sightings 2020

Did you see it land and eat Alison?

No, Cathy, it flew around for quite a while with the fish, didn’t go to the normal dead trees, and then was lost to view.

Slomo of the catch.

Fabulous video Alison, especially the slo-mo.   Well done, it’s not easy to do. I know I have tried and failed miserably

I've been dreaming of getting a video like this for years, Mary!

Wonderful, Alison, fabulous job of videoing, and I'm with Ian--lucky you! We have yet to actually see an Osprey catch a fish and I hope eventually we will be lucky enough to see that. Never mind getting a video--we'd just be thrilled to see it!
