Award winning bird and waterfowl carver Herb Lewis of Fleeton Virginia has donated a hand carved osprey sitting on an actual 100 year old brick from the old Stack.  This majestic bird returns to the Bay in mid March every year to nest and follow it’s favorite prey, the menhaden.  Herb’s carvings typically sell for thousands.  Herb spent the majority of the winter carving this out of a piece of tupelo wood.  It is hand painted and mounted on a beautiful piece of old cypress wood that was reclaimed from pieces of an old fish factory in Reedville.
Here is how you can win The Osprey.
