Feasting on High

A osprey keeps its balance in check against the wind. It was getting ready to feast on its new catch when I found it on its perch close to the beach  trail.

Osprey
This large bird of prey is dark brown above with a white belly and head. In flight, the crook in its wings helps identify it. The large stick nests are usually built in dead trees, but are also found on telephone ples, channel markers and artifical nesting platforms. The osprey catches fish by diving in feet first.


I can find God in nature,
in animals, in birds and the environment.
