Osprey

Four osprey were flying between #8 lake and the driving range today. They were most likely looking for a snack in the lake. Fish make up 99 percent of an ospreys diet, though they may occasionally feed on rodents, rabbits, or smaller birds. The osprey, sometimes called a seahawk, is found on all continents except Antarctica. They nest in tree forks, at the topsof poles, and rocky outcrops near water. Nests are built of heaping sticks and driftwood. Osprey pairs usually mate for life and will produce 2-4 young per year. To spot one at CECC, listen for a distinct cry, and watch for a white underside.
