We had ospreys nesting in our garden in Connecticut one year, which was spectacular. We're about 300 meters from the Connecticut river (and just two miles from the sea) where they can easily be seen fishing. It is just wonderful to see them pluck the fish out. We also have resident red-tailed hawks who spend their days chipmunk and rabbit hunting on our lawns and rough grass areas. No wonder the chipmunks are of a nervous disposition. In the winter we also get bald headed eagles fishing on the river, but they nest further north.
