We see lots of osprey nests on manmade structures around here, and don't see them in trees as much. Well, I have often seen them perched in a tree, feeding on a fish they caught. But this osprey appears to be perched in a tree, just to enjoy the scenery or, more likely, scouting for fishing opportunities. I was pleased to get a shot of it. That's a dangerous looking beak!
A "Cool Fact" from https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Osprey/lifehistory
"The Osprey readily builds its nest on manmade structures, such as telephone poles, channel markers, duck blinds, and nest platforms designed especially for it. Such platforms have become an important tool in reestablishing Ospreys in areas where they had disappeared. In some areas nests are placed almost exclusively on artificial structures."
