Osprey in Yellowstone National Park, Montana, USA

Holly Mandarich

Conservation status: Least Concern (Population increasing)

Mass: 3 lbs (Adult)

Scientific name: Pandion haliaetus

Wingspan in feet: 5 1/2 feet

Class: Aves

Domain: Eukaryota

Family: Pandionidae

The osprey, also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm in length and 180 cm across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.

Ospreys prefer habitats with plenty of shallow water where fish are plentiful. They often built nests on small islands or structures over bodies of water that are difficult for predators to get to. Manmade structures such as power poles and other stable structures are common nesting sites.

The osprey's diet is almost exclusively fish, a unique characteristic among raptors. They are opportunistic about the species of fish they catch, but they can only catch fish swimming within three feet (1 m) of the water's surface. They rarely take fish over 16 inches (40 cm) long.
