This past weekend I was checking in around the salt marsh area in hopes of witnessing some wildlife activity. There wasn’t much going on and I was ready to leave when I saw an osprey circling the area overhead. I never saw the osprey hit the water, in part because my view was blocked by some trees. But all of a sudden, there he was, sitting in a dead tree with a fresh caught mullet. I didn’t see the bird catch the fish or fly in, but did manage to catch this arrival with the catch of the day firmly grasped in his talon!
