Osprey in Flight

Osprey, Pandion haliaetus, single adult on nest with young, Finland, July 2012

An Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) hovering over an inlet at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in coastal Orange County, southern California. This raptor, found virtually world-wide, has been something of a puzzle to taxonomists because of several atypical anatomical features. For instance, they can move the outer toe backwards and they have horny scales on their feet, the better to catch their fishy prey. They are currently classified in a family of their own, Pandionidae.

After a successful hunt, this male osprey returns home to clean this rare needle fish. The chicks cannot easily eat the bones in the fish's head and spine, so the father not only catches the food for them, but prepares it for them as well. This scene shows the aftermath of the cleaning, after the inedible parts of the fish have already been cleaned out. This photo was captured by the harbor of Huntington Beach, CA.

The Western Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is also known as sea hawk, river hawk and fish hawk. It is a large diurnal (as opposed to nocturnal) raptor whose diet consists mainly of fish that it dives for and catches. The adult osprey is brown on the upperparts and grayish white on the head and underparts. Their eyes are bright yellow. The juveniles are distinguished by having white on the tips of their wing feathers giving a barred appearance and orange colored eyes. The osprey lives in a wide variety of habitats as long as water is nearby to supply adequate fish for their diet. It may be found on all continents except Antarctica. The osprey has specialized physical characteristics and behavior to assist in hunting and catching prey. Among these are reversible outer toes with sharp spicules on the underside, closable nostrils to keep out water, barbed talons to help hold fish and dense oily plumage to prevent the feathers from getting waterlogged. They may be seen diving headfirst into the water to catch a fish. The osprey builds a large nest of twigs and small branches. They are usually located atop dead trees. American and Canadian osprey winter in South America, although some may stay in Florida and California. This juvenile osprey was photographed perched on and pecking at a branch near Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

Osprey in flight

At this time of year where I live, there are plenty of ospreys around to be seen, if you ard lucky; fit with their posts that are set up for nesting - which they always seem to find and take full advantage of! Here is a beautiful Osprey mother, in the midst of taking turns feeding her three chicks a fresh caught fish for dinner, from the neighboring Atlantic Ocean. By the way - if one must pull over and stand on the center console ov their vehicle, sticking the rest of their whole self out of the sunroof, with their camera, to get such a photo, then so be it... Photo eagerly and enthusiastically taken at a local beach, in Cape Cod Massachusetts.
