Changde Wu    2019-03-23

Osprey, also called sea hawk, river hawk and fish hawk, is a type of raptor that almost exclusively hunts fish for food. This bird comes to the North in the spring, head to the South for winter in late Fall or early Winter. Most of the ospreys nest on artificial structures. They nests are in open area, but they not tamed so they do not like people to approach them.

The photos in this page are selected a collection of my photos over the past several years and in different geogrpahical locations. They focus the life of this species, and the actions on capturing fishes.
