Female Osprey Eating, Pooping, Feaking

This is a female osprey eating in an oak tree next to a Charleston SC marsh. The osprey brings in a half eaten fish, eats it for around 8 minutes and finishes with the fish tail.

She poop shoots, cleans and hones her beak (called feaking), and takes off.

We know this is a female because she has a necklace of brown spots around her neck and chest area. Some males have this too but we also know her male counterpart and he is almost completely white around the neck and chest.
