Description
"An Osprey Warning" by Debbie Oppermann. While fishing and cruising the French River Ontario Canada, French River Provincial Park, in our motorboat, we heard this strange whistling sound and then noticed the Osprey in this huge nest. It was warning us to move away, we were too close. I guess we didn't move fast enough as it left the nest to circle above us and move us along. We noticed that there were two babies in the nest that it was protecting. The Osprey, Pandion haliaetus, is also called a sea hawk, fish eagle, river hawk and fish hawk. It is a very large powerful raptor, bird of prey, whose diet consists mainly of fish and builds the most immense nest made out of mostly branches but also rope, strips of cloth and whatever else it finds.
