Osprey
Ospreys are occasionally confused with bald eagles, but can be determined by their white underparts. Their white heads additionally have a distinctive black eyestripe that decreases the side of their faces.
Eagles and ospreys frequent similar habitats as well as often battle for food. Eagles commonly force osprey to drop fish that they have actually caught as well as take them in midair.
Ospreys birds can be located near fish ponds, rivers, lakes, as well as seaside waterways around the globe. Ospreys hunt by diving to the water’s surface from some 30 to 100 feet (9 to 30 meters) up.
They have gripping pads on their feet in order to help them pluck fish from the water with their rounded claws and also bring them for country miles.
In flight, ospreys will driven the fish headfirst to ease wind resistance. Ospreys are outstanding fishers and without a doubt eat little else– fish comprise some 99 percent of their diet plan.
