Osprey Hawk Singing From Its Nest

Here is a video showing an Eastern Osprey singing from its nest atop a utility pole in Allegany State Park, New York. Osprey are large fish eating birds of prey. A type of hawk that you can find near ponds, lakes, rivers, creeks and coastal areas. They are large raptor reaching 24 inches long and can exceed 71 inches wide with its wings spread out! Full grown Osprey can weigh 3 pounds on the smaller end and up to 5 pounds on the larger birds! Osprey, not to be confused or mistaken for an Eagle, are mostly brown with a white breast and head and a brown strip down the side of their head. Osprey are an awe-inspiring animal to see in action, searching the water for fish and the dive bombing them from the air at up to 80 mph, reaching up to 3 feet deep into the water to grab their meal with their large claws. They have 3 large talon like toes in the front and one in the back. Osprey are known to fly into the water from 100 plus feet in the air! If you are ever lucky enough to catch one in action or find one in its nest, remember they are best observed from a far as they will dive bomb and attack if they feel threatened. Their sharp nails will cut you effortlessly and deep. Nature should always be left alone and observed from a distance. We don't appreciate when animals bother us and they don't like to be bothered by us either. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day!
