Wiggins Pass in North Naples, Florida, offers a wealth of opportunity for spotting some of Southwest Florida amazing wildlife. Check out this Osprey that Robb came across during his Sunday morning, April 28, 2024 beach walk at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park.
The osprey is a species of raptor that is sometimes mistaken for the bald eagle. This species can reach a height of 23 inches (58.4 centimeters) with a wingspan of 72 inches (182.9 centimeters) (The Cornell Lab of Ornithology 2011). Ospreys have a white underside and head, and a brownish upper body with a black line across the eyes that extends to the wings. Several features distinguish the osprey from other birds of prey, including a reversible fourth toe and spines located on their feet that are used to help grasp their prey as they fly over the water.
