Osprey

Osprey - Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, BC          Surveying the situation at the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal off of one of the older piers, which is normally reserved for drying off feathers by the resident cormorants. This Osprey was a visitor for a couple weeks here this summer. Osprey are specialists when it comes to hunting and strictly fish eaters with eyes that allow for seeing fish up to 120 feet while in the air. They even have an arrangement of darkened feathers around their eyes to reduce the glare from the water, like football players apply before games.

Osprey - Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal, BC
Osprey - Quilchena, BC - There is a family of Osprey who live on the top of a telephone post in a very conspicuous place along the Quilchena Creek Road. This bird was on a post like a Red-Tail taking in the evening sun. You can really tell that those talons and beak are for the tough skin of the food that they eat as well as the thick muscular legs. Wonderful to see such a great raptor so close.     Michael Klotz - www.TheBirdBlogger.com Picture
