Observing osprey nest
USGS scientist observing an osprey nest. Use of a mirror pole allows the researcher to observe the nest from a boat without disturbing the nest. The image was taken during a USGS study of osprey (Pandion haliaetus) and their prey (menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus), and other species of fish) in the middle and lower Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.
