Osprey return year after year

Traveling the road between Fauquier and Nakusp, you will spot many large nests atop the power poles. These are home to the numerous Osprey. Osprey return to their nests, which they add to each Spring, to mate and lay their eggs. Nests can become as large as five feet across and almost as tall. Unlike many birds of prey, Osprey diet consists of fish only. If you are lucky, you may spot one of these magnificent birds hover above the water and then talons first, plunge into the water, sometimes becoming totally submerged, only to rise from the waters with dinner firmly grasped in it’s talons.
