Description

Osprey on a post at Fort Myers Beach, Florida.
When I was down at the beach this female osprey just sat there looking around. I was getting pretty close, but didn't want to get too close and spook her. Another person was taking photographs also and told me that there is a nest with babies not too far from where she sat.
The osprey looks like a smaller version of the eagle. The bottoms of the feet are covered with spiked scales, which help the bird to grip and hold slippery fish.
Ospreys are usually found near water, primarily large lakes, slow-moving rivers, and coastal areas where trees or man-made structures provide perches or nesting sites.
