Osprey Photos

Photos of Osprey from our trip to Fremont Lake.

The Osprey has a body length of 21 - 24 inches,

a 5 - 6 foot wingspan, and weighs 2 1/2 - 4 1/2 pounds. So imagine the size of the fish. These look about like fish I've usually seen them carrying. They carry them head first parallel to their body. I could never figure how they land in a tree away from the nest and not drop the fish. We were sorry not to see one dive in the water to catch a fish. They all had a fish though. We saw a lot of them and a lot of nests.
