Osprey

“There is no delight in owning anything unshared.” -- Seneca (Roman Philosopher)

A male Osprey arrives back at the nest with a fish, sans head, for his female. Often times, an Osprey will eat the head of the fish before returning the rest to the nest. Taken back on 6-6-2009 on the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell, New Jersey.
