Osprey


More rare than the Bald Eagle is the Osprey. It rarely nest in Missouri but can be seen at ROLF migrating and fishing in March-April and again in the fall. It is possible that a few pairs nest in Missouri. The most striking feature of this large bird is it's dive from 500 feet to the river surface to spear a fish and the corresponding splash.
