If a person is to wait long enough you’ll be lucky to witness a meal delivery by Mr. Osprey.
Doesn’t get any fresher than this…just sayin !
Given the direction from where he came I believe the catch of the day may have come from one of the large ponds at Fort Whyte Centre.
Manitoba anglers must use barbless hooks when fishing in the province…as you can clearly see the Osprey adhere to this law.
One thing for sure is you wouldn’t want to mess with those hooks.
For one reason or another there hasn’t been as much time as I would like at the summer place and checking Osprey. Lucky for me there’s the Urban Pair here in Winnipeg which is mere minutes from home.
With two chicks up and flying and testing their wings often…so how do you know a chick from an adult some may ask.
Osprey juveniles are born with Red Eyes which will turn yellow like the adults.
All the tips of their feathers are fringed in cream/white which will turn dark brown.
I find the mornings the best time for action when it’s cooler and the light more favorable.
