An osprey, whose name is derived from a latin word meaning "bone-breaker," clutches a fish on a channel marker in Upper Newport Bay in Newport Beach, California, in August of 2004. The bay is one of the last remaining coastal wetlands in Southern California. Despite degradation from pollution and encroaching development, it remains an urban wilderness full of wildlife and natural beauty.
