Osprey and muskrat

I found the first Osprey of the year in a nest by a local river that I'm always checking from mid-March on. It was empty last week when I drove by slowly on my way to grocery shopping in Westerly, but this week, I noticed a spot of white just peeking out over the gray sticks atop the power line poles the birds have used as nest supports. When I parked then walked closer for a better look, the Osprey stretched, let me know that I was definitely an annoyance, and took off, carrying dinner. Food for fish hawks is almost always, well, duh, fish, but, as my good luck would have it today, I recorded a dietary item that is very unusual for these birds. It's a little hard to be certain, but my best guess is that the Osprey nabbed a young muskrat, which it was about to eat when I so rudely disturbed its dinner plans. Take out in hand... OK, talon... it headed off to a more private table.
