Ospreys courtship & nesting
Mar. 6 Yesterday at Indian River Lagoon we saw a pair of ospreys mating on their nest, and today I watched some great aerial displays. While one of the pair chirped loudly from the nest the other wheeled high overheard carrying a fish in its talons and giving sharp cries. Then suddenly it would drop toward the nest, pass near it, and land in a nearby tree where it ate its prey.
