Ospreys, also known as sea hawks, are captivating birds of prey that frequent the skies over Marco Island. With their unmistakable appearance and extraordinary hunting prowess, these raptors have become an integral part of the island's ecosystem. By joining us on our pedal-powered kayak tours, you will have the opportunity to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.

Imagine gliding through the serene waters of Marco Island, surrounded by the tranquility of nature. The desire to witness ospreys in action becomes a reality as you pedal along in your kayak, guided by our experienced tour guides. Marco Eco Tours promises an immersive experience, where the desire to connect with nature and observe ospreys up close is fulfilled.

Ospreys, famous for their aerial acrobatics and keen hunting skills, are also very adept at nest building. These raptors are adept at building large nests, often located on high points, such as treetops, cliffs or even man-made structures, as shown in the image.

The main purpose of the osprey's intricate nest is to provide a safe and stable environment for its young. Composed of twigs, sticks and various natural materials, the nests are carefully woven together, forming a sturdy platform that can withstand the elements. Ospreys return to the same nest site year after year, reinforcing and expanding their nests, creating a testament to their commitment to the next generation.

During the breeding season, which usually takes place in the spring, these majestic birds invest time and effort in preparing their nests for the arrival of their chicks. The female osprey lays the eggs in the nest, and both parents share responsibility for incubation and care of the young.

The feeding process begins with the hunting skills of ospreys. These raptors feed primarily on fish. With their powerful talons and keen eyesight, ospreys fly over Marco Island's waters in search of fish near the surface. When they detect suitable prey, they dive into the water feet first and emerge with the prey firmly clutched between their talons.

If you participate in Marco Eco Tours' pedal-powered kayak tour, you will be lucky enough to witness this breathtaking spectacle. The ospreys carry the captured fish back to their nests, where the intricate choreography of feeding unfolds. The adult ospreys tear the fish into smaller, more manageable pieces so that their young can easily consume the nutritious food.
