Found the Osprey near the water. The head is still there but I did not disturb it today...the weather hear have been very, very cold and I am sure a fox or other predator will claim it later.

If it is still there tomorrow afternoon, I'll call the Department of Natural Resources and they can do whatever they need to do. I won't even pick up feather from Ospreys or the Bald Eagles that surround the farm.

Dottie seemed very concerned.

I guess ospreys are protected? I wasn't aware. I certainly would not touch a bald eagle and would reach out to the authorities. Don't need to go messing around with what I'm sure is Federal laws.
