Osprey Family Nova Scotia

by 100 Country Trek

Mama delivering dinner to her kids. They are soooo hungry.

This adult osprey brings food the nest with two 45 day old chicks

I realized these Ospreys are related to eagles and hawks. For this reason biologists place them in a separate taxonomic family by themselves. I noticed they have a brown stripe runs across the head through the fierce yellow eyes. In flight Ospreys hold their wings with a bend at the “elbow”.

Lands and Forestry told us the Ospreys return to Nova Scotia from their wintering grounds in South America and the Caribbean by mid-April.

  17. Great photos of a great subject! Well done to get such sharp pictures. I love these birds, they are so beautiful. Our rosellas, King Parrots and magpies have just come in for some wild bird seed on a very frosty morning.
