Ospreys have been nesting recently in Delta Ponds, and I 'caught' this one with a nice catch. They are excellent fishers! The Osprey is a beautiful bird, sometimes mistaken for eagles. They perhaps look similar but the osprey is smaller, and eagles sometimes rob them of their fish.

Here is some information about the Osprey from the National Geographic website:

"Ospreys are superb fishers and indeed eat little else — fish make up some 99 percent of their diet. Because of this appetite, these birds can be found near ponds, rivers, lakes, and coastal waterways around the world. Ospreys hunt by diving to the water's surface from some 30 to 100 feet (9 to 30 meters) up. They have gripping pads on their feet to help them pluck fish from the water with their curved claws and carry them for great distances. In flight, ospreys will orient the fish headfirst to ease wind resistance."
