Osprey

At Marsden Lake within the former TCAAP land, there was an Osprey. It was hungry. It tried and tried and eventually secured its dinner. Along came a young eagle who spoiled the party.

The white dots throughout some of these frames are mostly "cotton fluff" from a cottonwood tree nearby.

While I was searching for American Crocodile film locations in South Florida, I came across this magnificent birds of prey. The Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is also known as the Sea Hawk, Fish Hawk or Fish Eagle, but despite its propensity to nest near water, the Osprey is not a Sea Eagle. This raptor is diurnal, mainly feeding on fish and reaching more than 24 inches in length and 71 inches across the wings. It is brown on the upper parts of its body and predominantly grey to white on the head and underparts, with a black eye patch and wings. The Osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica although in South America it occurs only as a non-Breeding migrant.

The Osprey, our only Raptor, or Bird of Prey that plunges into the water feet first sat perched above devouring its morning fish. Birders from Kissimmee, Florida located in Osceola County in Central Florida drive the easy 50 mile road trip to Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland for awesome birdwatching.The Osprey, or commonly knows as Fish hawk devoured and ate every last piece of fish flesh right before my eyes. Watch the way The Osprey uses its bill to hold and rip the fish apart by simply turning the Osprey's head from side to side using its much hooked bill. Ospreys are birds of prey or raptors, and their only food source is fish. The fish Ospreys take dwell in shallow water or will be near the surface since Osprey do not dive. The Osprey capture their prey with large strong feet, equipped with scale like undersides and claws which are long, sharp and powerful. You will never find an Osprey far from water in which fish may be had.

Take particular note of the white underside of the Osprey, dark tail and the broad black line through the eye on an otherwise white head. Whereas, adult Bald Eagles are dark on their underside with a white tail and a pure white head. Check my old video http://bit.ly/BaldEaglesAmazing for more differences to help identify the differences between the two species.

One of the many reasons I so much enjoy Circle B Bar Reserve is the escape from the noise pollution from populated areas. Diversified habitats offer pristine territories for a multitude of flora and fauna. Something wild and wonderful happens during every visit to the Reserve.
