BALTIMORE (WJZ) — It’s not unusual for birds to
fall out of their nests.
But having the entire nest fall into a river and float away
with the bird inside? That’s unusual.
Alex DeMetrick reports, this situation recently sparked a
unique water rescue.
Ospreys are skilled nest builders. And apparently, those
sturdy nests can also serve as life rafts.
Last week on the Magothy River in Pasadena, Paul Rothe and
friends were crabbing.
“We got over there, there’s an osprey nest, the whole nest in
the water,” Rothe says. “I’ve never seen anything like that before in my life,
and I’ve been on the water my whole life.”
Even more surprising was the contents of the nest.
