Osprey

Osprey circling over water on the Arrowhead Golf Course.

The Osprey is a fish-eating specialist, with live fish accounting for about 99% of its diet. When an Osprey takes a large fish to its nest, it will adjust the fish with its claws so the head is pointing forward to make it as aerodynamic as possible.

Ospreys declined drastically because of pesticides during the 1950s and 1960s, but since then they have made a comeback and are nesting again in areas from which they had disappeared.
