Another morning and another photo of the birds atop the power pole. I’m sold on my iPhone 15 Pro Max cameras. Since January I have been using this phone exclusively for my photography. All my other cameras are on the shelf.

BOTD: Osprey
Photo: Eileen Fonferko
"A very distinctive fish-hawk, formerly classified with other hawks but now placed in a separate family of its own. Along coastlines, lakes, and rivers almost worldwide, the Osprey is often seen flying over the water, hovering, and then plunging feet-first to catch fish in its talons. After a successful strike, the bird rises heavily from the water and flies away, carrying the fish head-forward with its feet. Bald Eagles sometimes chase Ospreys and force them to drop their catch. In many regions, landowners put up poles near the water to attract nesting Ospreys."
- Audubon Field Guide

Osprey are primarily piscivores, meaning fish eaters. Their excellent eyesight can detect fish beneath the waters surface.
