An Exploration into the Life of the Fish Hawk (Osprey)
Bob Montana – Osprey Watch Organization
Bob is a volunteer at Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge.

This is a portrayal of a typical nesting season. Additionally, the program showcases encounters with other wildlife in the Refuge – everything from River Otters and a family of Pileated Woodpeckers to fighting Red-Shouldered Hawks.
