Birds at The Forest

As we can all attest to, wildlife is part of what makes The Forest such a special place.  This was demonstrated in late March when an adult osprey was released in the open area adjacent to #15 Bear tees.  The female osprey was rescued from this same area by Forest member Mr. Ben-Susan and rehabilitated for a month at the Center for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (C.R.O.W.) on Sanibel Island.  The bird was successfully reunited with her mate.  Below is a video of the release of this beautiful animal. 

Below are some more bird photos taken on the courses (credit Bear Course Superintendent Jake Caleca):
