Osprey

Florida Ospreys are birds of prey, medium-sized raptors, and have a wing-span of 6 feet. Ospreys often build their nests high in the tops of dead trees. In dead trees or high on the top of utility poles there are no leaves to get in the way of their wings. They can also easily spot any predators that try to climb up to their nests. Osprey nests weigh 1000 pounds! Both birds sit on the nest. The mother does most of the sitting and the father feeds her.
