Fox News
A group of birds — nesting ospreys, to be exact — is grabbing unexpected attention in Eugene, Oregon, amid the World Athletic Championships taking place from July 15-July 24, 2022.
"We were witnessing the baby bird practicing getting ready to fly. So it was really exciting." "I could just appreciate the nature that was occurring." "Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent on Twitter at @maurmack.
There is no starting gun nor roar of the crowd that rouses the raptors from their home on a platform above the University of Oregon School of Law — which is visible to the crowd at the 10-day international meet in Eugene.
