Day 283: Although the field guides will frequently describe Ospreys as "uncommon," I see them almost any time I'm out on one of the area's lakes. They are consummate predators upon trout and don't seem to have my discriminating palate when it comes to hatchery-raised fish. That said, they also seem to have extraordinary skill at taking the biggest and best. Many's the time that I've been fiddling with minnows, only to see an Osprey splash down and rise again with a trophy brown held in its talons. Of course, I might have more luck if I rigged with the nine hooks this bird is allowed.
