Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- Is it Luna the Osprey?
I met an osprey in 2018 who returns to New Smyrna Beach every winter. She usually stays for about 4 months spending her time on 2 boats. It wasn't until last year when she became more engaging and enjoyed photoshoots.
She looks a little different this year so I'm not 100% it's her, but she is hanging in her usual spots. As you can see, like most ospreys, she is very expressive. She had a hurt left foot last year, she still uses it gingerly but it is looking better.
What I have learned is female osprey have brown feathers around their neck and chest. I was told even the smallest amount of brown means it's a girl. Males have an all white chest and neck. Wondering if this is a Luna impersonator...
Stay tuned for more tales!
