Field Notes

Description:

This osprey got a fish and was enjoying it on top of a pole. It then went out and got more fish. I think it has a mate, as I often see two of them around this barge

Habitat:

On an fuel barge on the South Portland coast. Its nest is right behind the barge, and I think the platform the nest is on was made for Osprey nesting
