OSPREY HEADING OUT

The beginning of fall also brings on migration season and even though most open water has not frozen over yet, some feathered predators have started their trip south. DNR Small non-game specialist Pam Perry said the osprey is one of them. Perry said the osprey is neither hawk nor eagle but in a bird category by itself where as the eagle is in the same category as the red-tailed hawk. The osprey migration trip could take them as far as South America. But they'll be back next year.
