Description
"Catch Of The Day" by Debbie Oppermann. The Osprey, Pandion haliaetus, is a large, powerful Raptor or Bird Of Prey. They are superb fishers and their curved claws hold tight to their prey. When in flight, Osprey will orient the fish head first to ease wind resistance. They build large nests on top of telephone poles, channel markers and other such locations in and around ponds, rivers, lakes and coastal areas. Their nests are made up of large sticks, sod, plastic, rope, cloth and anything else they find. In this image, taken in Guelph Ontario Canada, the Osprey has found a Goldfish for it's snack, maybe from someone's pond?
