Osprey Rescue

In a case of being in the right place at the right time, Pat and Sydney were able to document the rescue of an osprey by a Fort Belvoir Fire and Rescue crew. Fishing line was wrapped around one of the osprey's legs preventing it from flying more than a foot from its nest, which was located near the base's indoor archery range. Fortunately, I can report the rescue operation was a success as documented in an article published in the April 11, 2013, edition of the 'The Fort Belvoir Eagle.' (Photo Gallery)
