(23,314 posts)The slang term is Fish Hawk because theyre fish eaters. No forgiveness needed for asking! Ill bet you have an Osprey or two in MI.

(130,905 posts)Some are tagged, not mine, but there are specialists in Montana who follow them.
I've not seen mine too much due to foliage (and of course due to 'early' geese.) They'll leave here around end of August/into Sept.

(23,314 posts)They say shes an old girl

(34,386 posts)I don't believe I've ever seen one here. I've seen plenty of hawks and falcons (including a Peregrine pair that nested on the roof of our building in Grand Rapids, MI many moons ago.)
Thanks again!

(32,677 posts)at Flechers Flooding near Alpena. There were tons of dead trees sticking out of the water and the fishing was great. At least 5 or 6 Ospreys nesting then. I went back last year and all of the trees hard been removed. Saw Eagles but no Ospreys this time.
