The residents of the densely populated Hudson shore are treated daily to a great view of the spectacle of the osprey fishing. The bird doesn't even care if you take a canoe out to watch it at closer range. Ospreys are not rare in Massachusetts, but neither are they plentiful. I have gone to some length to see or photograph ospreys fishing, but this fall the sight is readily available.
