Osprey with big snake

[David Suddjian]

A week ago (7/12) I saw two Ospreys flying and perching at the tall light standards around the ball fields of the campus of St. Mary Church in Littleton off South Prince St. That was the first I'd seen of that species at that site, though the South Platte is not far off. Then this evening (7/19) two Osprey were again in the same spot, and one was flying around with a big 3+ foot-long snake dangling from its talons. Not the typical Osprey fare.
