GREAT COLONY OF osPREys.
Settlement of Fishhawks Established

Travellers in the tropics wonder at
the ease of flight of the wandering

but for perfect poise and majestic
carriage 1t Is not necessary to seek
further than the American osprey or
fishhawk.
Owing to its abundance this bird is
not appreciated in this country. and
even the visitors to such nearby sum-
mer retreats as Atlantic Highlands
and Shelter Island must surely have
seen ospreys or their bulky nests.
The birds abundance throughout
the eastern range. from Newfound-
land to Florida, has resulted in his
being looked upon by most people
with only common interest, but for
the bird student this imposing hawk
possesses a charm and fascination

|by the kingbird or redwing he strives
10 preserve his dignity, pursuing an
even course and ignoring his diminu-
tive tormentor.
AS conspicuous landmark the
nest of the osprey is second only to
that of the bald eagle. Occupying the
topmost branches OF some gigantic
pine, as is often the case. the nest.
composed of sticks. sods and varied
collection of debris. affords a lookout
from which the birds command
view of the country for miles in all
directions.
The osprey has weight of only
about three and one-half pounds, but
his Widespread often exceeds five and
one half feet. making 1t possible for
him to extract from the water and
carry off fish weighing a pound or
more The sight of this great hawk
catching his prey is something to be
long remembered
He drifts easily on set wings at
considerable height above some bay
or pond. frequently stopping to hover
for moment over a spot where a
fish Is sighted. But the quarry is

ter a few powerful wing strokes, sails
on, ever scanning the water below in
himself abruptly, wheels. folds his
wings and drops to within some flf-
teen feet of the surface.
Here he poises for only fraction
of second to reassure himself, then
the wings are drawn close to the
body again and in moment he

legs are thrust downward and amid
