This past weekend we saw an osprey on a serious hunting expedition. You could tell he was on the hunt because he was constantly moving his eyes both side to side and downward. That is bad news for any fish that happens to be swimming in the salt marsh below. We never saw the osprey dive down and he quickly left the area heading east just a short distance toward the ocean, which should provide a tasty meal. Also notice, in the second photo, the small patch of black feathers on the top of his head. It’s not often you see the top on an osprey head while it’s flying!
