Well named Fish Eagles, this adult Osprey had been fishing in Clear Lake nearby when the photo was taken.

This is one of the adult Ospreys that were nesting near our house landing in a nearby tree.

Though the nest was far above us, these Western Osprey parents became agitated and flew around calling when we walked in the road under the nest. This one looked more threatening than was actually the case.

Here's a few more photos of the Ospreys (Fish Eagles) that were nesting near our home. They are gone now, though one of the young hung around the nest for weeks after the adults and other chick had left.

We've had a pair of Western Ospreys or Fish Hawks nesting not from our home since we live near a lake. They raised two chicks this year and when this photo was taken were trying to persuade the chicks to leave the nest. These are the adults, perched in a dead tree near the nest, calling to the chicks. One of the chicks finally did fly out of the nest while we were watching but the other did not, though both have left now.

The Western Osprey or Fish Hawk has a wing span of nearly six feet (72 cm). We live near a lake and have a pair of them nesting down the road from our home. The raised two chicks which have now left the nest but were still on the nest when this photo was taken.

The Western Osprey or Fish Hawk is a large raptor with a six foot wing span (72 cm). A pair of them nested not far from our house and raised two chicks. This is one of the chicks, nearly full grown, on the edge of the nest.

Also known as a Fish Hawk, the Western Osprey is a large bird of prey with a wing span of six feet (180 cm). We live near a lake and have had a pair of them nesting near our home. They raised two chicks this year and when this photo was taken the chicks were nearly full grown and ready to leave the nest. Our walking by, however, disturbed the parents (we were more careful thereafter) and they flew around calling as this one is doing.
