Those are great pictures!

They do build large nests and sometimes compete with the eagles over them. Their entire diet is fish and, studies have shown, they usually don't mate until they are around seven years old as they need to be masters at fishing to feed their young. It takes about ten weeks after hatching for them to leave the nest, their parents still feeding them for a time so that's a lot of fish to catch.

They're fun to watch. If you go fishing, look for the Osprey, that's where the fish are.
