Look closely, you can see the baby osprey in the nest.
This is a photo of an osprey, my favorite sea bird. I took this photo down in Key Largo, Florida, where I used to live. I regularly visited this particular osprey nest. If you look closely, you can see the baby osprey in the nest.
The mother osprey would fly around the area and come back with food for her young. Since this nest was over the water, I would kayak to it. I would put myself up-current of the nest, and slowly drift into the nest area, so not to spook them.
Fun fact: Fish make up 99% of an osprey’s diet.
