Ospreys+ at Patuxent River Park, March 10

While getting out of the car in the AM, a dark bird with white head was seen flying downriver with a fish in foot. Seemed like an eagle, but was too small. It was the first osprey seen this year!

This time of year when ospreys fly next to the trees, sometimes a loud snap is heard. They break off branches in flight to build their nests.
The Live cam was turned on in the afternoon. Ms O is eating what appeared to be a goldfish.
