If the fish is small the Osprey carries it home easily; but if it is a big one there may be a fight.

Sometimes, if the Osprey's claws get caught in a fish too large to fly away with, the Fisherman Bird is dragged under water and drowned." "Do they still nest on Round Island ?" asked the Doctor.

"There were a dozen pairs of them there when I was a boy." "Yes, sir! But there is only one pair now.

It's a great rack of sticks, half as big as a haystack; for they mend it every season, and so it keeps growing until now it is almost ready to fall out of the old tree that holds it.

And, do you know, sir, that Purple Grackles have stuck their own nests into the sides of it, until it is as full of birds as a great summer hotel is of people." "Oh, we must see it!" said Olive, who had finished putting her seaweeds to press; "for as yet I have only read about such a nest." "What does the Osprey look like near to ?" asked Rap.
"Like a large Hawk," answered the Doctor.
