I live on Long Island, and see ospreys frequently, so i like this book for the information, conveyed in a non-heavyhanded, not too much science way, but it took me forever to read. As interesting as it was, I found myself only reading a few pages at a time, then putting it down and picking up something else to read.
this was a bit long and a bit too introspective for my taste. It does have good info about osprey.
