Osprey
Pandion haliaetus
34.15, -84.72
Field Notes
Description:
Look close enough and you'll see, there's someone hanging out in the nest! I think I see hints of speckling on the back (which would indicate it's a juvenile), but it's really hard to see.
Habitat:
The osprey is unusual in that it is a single living species that occurs nearly worldwide. Resident to long-distance migrant. Most Ospreys that breed in North America migrate to Central and South America for the winter, with migration routes following broad swaths of the eastern, interior, and western U.S. A few Ospreys overwinter in the southernmost United States, including parts of Florida and California.
Notes:
Spotted on Bethany Bridge at Red Top Mountain State Park
