Ospreys at Lake Winni
Saw a huge bird on the breakwater today. My wife took a picture however at the distance it doesn't show well. It has a head of a hawk and later was seen eating a fish on the breakwater. The only thing I can think of is an Osprey but do not know if they frequent this area. Also Ospreys usually leave around September.
If I can figure out how to post the picture will do. -------------------------------------------- I am a retired workaholic and continuing aquaholic |

We have seen ospreys and eagles near Lee's Mill on the northeast end of the lake, both in the last couple of weeks.

Their Numbers are Down This Year...
Ospreys are here at Lake Winnipesaukee, but I hadn't seen one this summer until August 26th.
I saw a small, so probably male, Osprey flying over Johnson's Cove, Wolfeboro. Overhead, they show a lot of white coloration, even appearing like large seagulls, but with hooked bills and impressive talons. Their cry is very distinctive, but considering they're almost the size of an Eagle, that sound is of a much smaller bird. Quote:

You can see tons of em during fall migration, which varies a little depending where they're coming from. Very likely you saw one, They are much "skinnier" Than Eagles and even hawks, if you see them hunt you will have no doubt what you saw.
