Ospreys

While having lunch at the Lighthouse Pub in Sechelt, we noticed what we thought were two bald eagles fishing in Porpoise Bay. The flight patterns of the birds appeared strange at first and we noticed that there was a lot more underbelly white on the pair.

It became apparent, as soon as they started to hover and dive, that these enormous birds were something other than eagles and we have discovered that they are a pair of Ospreys. We went back the following week and there they were again.

This is a web image, we'll take the camera and see what we can snap next time.
