Recently a motorist moving down I-84 (Oregon) had a shock as a misguided Osprey collided with their car. The Osprey ended up in the Columbia River. The motorist summoned assistance and the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Offce responded via River Patrol and the Gorge patrol vehicle. They no doubt were noting the larger than anticipated wing span and thinking ‘talons! Ever resourceful and careful the errant, feathered missle was soon captured and off for a hopefully full recovery.
Kudos to the MCSO Osprey Recovery Unit and those that care for wayward birds. Perhaps further rehab would include helping the bird to discern between vehicles and fish.
