Diving team for dinner.

The Arctic tern eats mostly small fish. They also enjoy small ocean-faring invertebrates like insects, shrimp, and krill. 
These birds swoop down into the water to catch their prey just like larger airborne sea predators.

Plains Bison place a tall order.
These Bulls are about six and a half feet tall and about eleven feet from shoulder to rump.

Since they are also weigh about a ton, that means they have the same basic dimensions as the average smart car.

Two of our Hog Island Osprey have successfully hatched. The Audubon Society has reported that the third will not likely ever transition from egg to chick, which is not an uncommon occurrence for osprey families. 
Excited to watch the two healthy babies grow up? Head over to Osprey Cam and share your osprey name ideas for the newborns.
