Mother Osprey
Osprey is a fish-eating hawk with a scientific name called pandion haliaetus. It is a spectacular big bird at the top of the aquatic food web. They weigh about 1.5 to 2.0 kg and have a wingspan of 1.6 metres. They have sharp talons and a hooked beak for easily handling of their prey. The main predator of osprey eggs is the raccoon, while the great horned owl sometimes kill osprey chicks and adults.
