From a morning last month spent with this very cool juvenile. Its parents set up their home in a state park in northern Colorado and not long after they had this new addition. Usually the juveniles are pretty tolerant of people but this particular one never seemed to care for us two legged mammals.
Most Osprey have left Colorado for the season and are heading to the warmer environs of the coasts of Mexico and South America. These raptors are actually a type of a hawk. Making them a bit unique is that they almost exclusively live near water and dine on fish. Aiding them in their ability to catch fish is an unusual reversible outer toe that allows them to get a better grasp from behind in addition to the front.
