Fishing expedition

As mentioned previously, I was presented with an extraordinary show by a Connecticut osprey last weekend. This bird showed up about 7pm as the sun set behind me. He made multiple passes over the inlet between Enders Island and the MI Yacht Club searching for a fish dinner. He actually dove three times right in front of me over five-ten minutes, coming up with nothing each time!

Osprey goes fishing

While walking down past the yacht club this evening, an osprey decided to find dinner near the bridge to Enders Isl.

This bird spent five to ten minutes hovering around searching for a target. It actually dove three different times and came up empty each time.

I will get more pictures posted tomorrow.
