This is just a quick clip of the Osprey that sits perched atop the post just outside the entrance to Honeymoon Island State Park. After having recently caught a mullet by diving from high altitudes, then crashing into the water to grab and scoop the unsuspecting fish, it starts its meal by taking a moment to collect itself, a moment to unruffle the feathers, and shake off the water. The osprey has just caught a medium sized mullet from the waterway just adjacent to the park entrance. Mullet are a common meal for the hungry osprey because mullet are so abundant, and because they are a species of fish that spend a lot of their life on the surface of the water. Mullet are a great, easy, and filling meal for these beautiful birds.
