Great View, quiet neighborhood & close to food!
Just kidding. While heading to Wisconsin we passed this vacant Osprey nest. Sorry the picture is not too clear, weather and all.
Anyway An Osprey is a large eagle-like bird. With a size of 24" and a wingspan of 5 1/2 foot!!!They live on fish. This raptor is the only one that plunges into water feet first to catch din-din. They carry the fish head first for better aerodynamics. They tend to get harassed by Bald Eagles for the catch.
Nest are made on man-made towers, as seen here. Dead trees are also used for nest building.
They do a complete migration to southern states, Mexico, Central & South America. The only place they do not got to is Antarctica.
Although Chimes and Birds has nothing to feed Osprey, we do have a great selection of other bird feeders!
Enjoy those birds!
