More Presque Isle State Park bird content, from a recent mid-morning at Leo’s Landing:
This Osprey was flying up and hovering briefly, then diving steeply down and back up, over and over, carrying what appeared to be a headless fish. Eventually it settled into a nearby tree w/ another Osprey (see shot below). After internal discussions in the BirdingPI.com break room, thinking this might have been courtship behaviour. (Video will be posted if the video function ever works again.)
[Editor’s note: shot above – American Goldfinch (r) & Yellow Warbler (l).]
[Editor’s note: past observations have suggested that having caught a fish, Osprey may first eat the head. Perhaps it’s the ‘tasty bits.’]
