Field Notes
Description:
sometimes known as the sea hawk, fish eagle, or fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey. The Osprey is unusual in that it is a single living species that occurs nearly worldwide.
Habitat:
found in temperate and tropical regions of all continents except Antarctica. Fish make up 99% of the Osprey's diet.
Notes:
Ospreys have been known to exhibit great joint flexibility. Their limbs (wings and legs) have adapted to have greater flexibility over time. An example of this is when flying towards bright lights (e.g., sun)—they are able to bend the joint in their wing to shield their eyes from the light to aid safety while flying
