Tweeters,

This post focuses on the Osprey family that is nesting just north of the Union Bay Natural Area.

I can’t argue if you think Osprey are Born (or hatched) To Fish. However, I also suspect they have one of the best weight to wing-area ratios in the avian world. According to my crude calculations they have about half as much weight per square inch as compared to Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons. It believe this supports my Born To Fly title.

Have a great day on Union Bay, where nature lives in the city and Black Birders are welcome!

Sincerely,
Larry
