Field Notes

Description:

A large eagle-like bird with brown feathers on his back and white on the front. He has a large hooked bill. A stripe of brown goes around his eyes like a mask and down onto his back.

Habitat:

Frequently found near the water in high nests in Florida.

Notes:

This osprey was perched on a dead tree near Lemon Bay in Englewood, Florida at sunset and seemed very unphased by people walking near him.
