This is one of the last shots I took of Lady Blue bringing a fish back to her nest site for her only chick this year.

Ospreys are listed as a threatened specie on the Wisconsin Threatened and Endangered List. They are also protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Act.

Someone shot and killed a federally protected bird.

Within hours of her death a reward fund was established for the arrest and conviction of the individual(s) responsible for her death.

The investigation is on going.
