Stock Photo: Osprey Gliding And Hunting For Fish
ID 252626928 © Fallsview | Megapixl.com
Osprey gliding and hunting for fish, it is a large, mostly white raptor that cruises over lakes, rivers, and coastal waterways in search of fish. Impressively widespread: found on every continent except Antarctica. Mostly white head and underparts; dark brown back. In flight, holds wings with a kink in the wrist shaped like an `M`. Stick nests are conspicuous on top of channel markers, utility poles and high platforms near water. Often seen plunging feet-first into water from high in the air to grab fish.
