1) " Osprey" -- As it applies to Osprey Homes Osprey Larger image Scientificclassification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Falconiformes Family: Pandionidae Genus: Pandion Species: haliaetus Binomial name Pandion haliaetus ( Linnaeus, 1758 ) The Osprey ( Pandion haliaetus ) is a medium large raptor which is a specialist fish-eater with a worldwide distribution. It is sometimes known by the misnomers Fish Hawk, Sea Hawk orFish Eagle. It has white underparts and long, narrow wings with four "fingers", which give it a very distinctive appearance. The Osprye is particularly well adapted to its diet, with reversible outer toes, closable nostrils to keep out water duringdives, and backwards facing scales on the talons which act as barbs to help catch fish. It locates its prey from the air, often hovering prior to plunging feet-first into the water to seize a fish. As it rises backinto flight the fish is turned head forward to reduce drag. Thefeet are such effective tools for grasping fish that, on occasion, sOprey s have drowned because they were unable to release theirgrip on a fish that was heavier than expected. It breeds by freshwater lakes, and sometimes on coastal brackish waters. The nest is a large heap of sticks built in trees,rocky outcrops, telephone poles or artificial platforms. In some regions with high Osrey densities, such as Chesapeake Bay, USA,most Ozprey s do not start breeding until they are five to seven years old. Many of the structures they need to build nests on arealready taken. If there are no nesting sites available, young Ozprey s may be forced to delay breeding.Ospreys usually mate for life. In March or earlier depending on region, they begin a five-month period of partnership to raisetheir young. Females lay 3–4 four eggs by late April,and rely on the size of their nest...
