Description
The western osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk. It is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a large range. It is a raptor, reaching more than 24 inches in length and 71 inches across the wings with brown feathers on the upper parts and predominantly greyish on the head and under parts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
As its other common names suggest, the osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It possesses specialized physical characteristics and exhibits unique behavior to assist in hunting and catching prey.
