There is a lot of fishing going on as the adult birds are preparing the fledglings for flight. It won't be long before the young ones leave the nest. In the meantime, we will take advantage of the airshow!

Rogue River Rafting Half Day Trip
What a amazing sight! This gorgeous bird soared above our heads and graced us with her beauty from wing tip to wing tip. This is an osprey and there is a healthy population of this fish-diving hawk on the Rogue River. We see them dive straight into the water at speeds up to 30 miles per hour to grab a fish that can weigh as much as 2 times the body weight of the osprey!
