Osprey
Pandion haliaetus
The ospreys off Sanibel seem fearless around people and will gather nesting material on the beach right next to people. this osprey caught a fish and proceeded to land on the beach with it. As he flew off with the fish the sand which totally covered the fish sprinkled off like salt from a shaker.
