April 2, 2009 My cousin and I were walking along the creek trail at Beaman Park in Davidson Co. and observed an Osprey along the trail sitting on the ground. The bird would allow us to approach within a few feet before spreading its wings in a menacing manner. It wasn't apparent whether it was ill, injured, or had just become weak from hunger.. It was strange seeing it right there in the middle of the woods.
