This week on Saltwater Stories, we journey to the edge of the ocean and along the coast to meet a bird shaped by water, wind, and time. The osprey is not just a hunter. It is a master specialist, built over millions of years to do one thing with remarkable precision. In this episode, we follow the osprey from its ancient evolutionary roots to modern coastal skies, uncovering the specialized feet, eyes, wings, and instincts that allow it to strike fish at breathtaking speed. Along the way, we trace epic migrations, towering nests, and the hidden physics behind its perfect plunge. But this story reaches beyond biology. As a fish eating bird at the top of the marine food web, the osprey reflects the health of our oceans and coastal waters, carrying the history of chemical collapse, conservation recovery, and emerging environmental threats. The osprey reminds us that when coastal waters thrive, life above them does too.#SaltwaterStories #Osprey #OceanWildlife #CoastalEcosystems #OceanLiteracy #MarineScience #WildlifeEducation #BirdsOfPrey #ConservationStories #NatureDocumentary
