osprey flight

Ace looks like his talons can already feel the fish…
dive
this is Ace, the male osprey, starting a fishing dive
return!
The ospreys have returned!
This is a female and her catch; her mate was fishing too.
It is a long migration flight for them – North Carolina to South America twice a year.
invitation
That is a whole lot of bright blue sky inviting the young osprey to dive right into the morning’s fishing.
seeking marauders
Almost as important as eyes looking down for fish,
is the osprey’s eyes sweeping upward, scanning for a marauding eagle.
