Florida Nature:  Ready to Leave the Nest

Children will grow up and leave home just like this young Osprey that is soon ready to leave the nest.

Ospreys are a common sight in our waterfront community of Hernando Beach but they can be found all across Florida with its long coastlines and many other bodies of water such as lakes and rivers. 

You can often observe Ospreys flying high with their prey - always a fresh catch of fish - in their talons.  The call of an Osprey is an unmistakingly high pitch shriek.  Ospreys are also quite territorial, I've have often watched our "resident" Osprey in Hernando Beach to chase off an intruder after a few short warning calls. 

This nest will be empty soon but the Osprey parents will return next season to the same nest site to start a new family.

Hi Silvia, thank you for showing me an Osprey up close! I believe that must be the closest I've ever seen one! Those claws and the beak are no joke!

Gretchen, thank you, glad you like this "baby"!

Andrea, you are right, now imagine being a fish about to be caught by these talons!

Endre, thanks, we probably will, the last wave of the Babyboomers is getting ready to retire and the next generation is coming of age as well!

Cute little tyke, isn't it:-)  I love the way he still has his baby feathers atop his head!  I'm amazed that you were close enough to get that great of a picture!

Myrl, thank you, there was probably at least 300 ft of space and water between me and the bird, but my camera helped me to get closer than would have been comfortable for both me and the bird!

Hi Silvia,

What a great shot and message too! You have a great camera and you were quick to get this great photograph too! Good for you!

Florida has such magnificent beauty. I can understand now why the bird didn't fly away, it doesn't want to leave either!
