Banding an Osprey | FWS.gov

A large, very tall cactus in a desert environment, with a man who appears to be sitting on the very top of the cactus, with a large bird (an Osprey) perched on his arm Below him is a large nest. At the base of the cactus is a car (station wagon) of 1970s vintage, with a metal step-ladder on the roof, and leaning against the cactus. The ladder does not go all the way to the top of the cactus..
