Season of the Ospreyfrom Nature PBS brings viewers into the life of the incredible raptor with a depth and intimacy never before attempted. Following the struggles, failures and triumphs of a single osprey family in Connecticut over the course of a summer, filmmaker Jacob Steinberg achieved unlimited access to an osprey nest and offers a rich look at this unique species known for its life-long partnerships, dynamic social interactions and masterful hunting prowess.
“Osprey are beloved birds, and yet they lacked a definitive wildlife film. The moment I began observing the family that would become the film’s iconic subjects, I knew theirs was a story that would resonate with Nature viewers.”Jacob Steinberg
We learn about ospreys and the place they hold in Southwest Florida’s ecosystem.
