A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Pandion haliaetus
Large raptor with a distinct black eye patch and black wings.
Lakes, rivers. Often observed hunting fish and nesting or perched in snags next to water.
My wife saw three osprey at this location (on a large snag near the dam at Blue Mesa Reservoir) and she took these photos through a spotting scope. She watched as one of the osprey ate a fish.
