Description
This image depicts an Osprey (which Audubon also called a Fish Hawk) with a Weakfish in its talons. Shown in profile, the Osprey conveys a sense of strength and agility.
When Audubon wrote his Ornithological Biography, he mentioned that the Osprey was the most gregarious of all hawks, having a more “social disposition”. He also mentioned that he saw “upwards of fifty of their nests” on the coast of New Jersey, near Great Egg Harbor.
