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 to power their prey in a direction that reduces air resistance when they are flying to the nest. Wonderful to see such a great raptor so close.
