Western Osprey
Pandion haliaetus
27.7981, -82.7973
Field Notes
Description:
This osprey pair has taken over a tall dead palm. At least one of them has been observed bringing food back to this location. A possible nesting site. I expect this will be preferable to the lights at the ball field. (Although, I have not checked to see if that pair is still at that location.)
Habitat:
Widespread throughout the Americas depending on time of year. A year-long FL resident. They are found near water as they mainly eat fish.
Notes:
The osprey is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
