Description
The osprey or more specifically the western osprey (Pandion haliaetus) — also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a bird of prey that can reach over two feet in length and has a wingspan of nearly six feet. These birds generally have brown wings and gray heads and underparts and spend most of their time near the water. Ospreys are found on every continent on earth except for Antarctica and are common throughout the eastern United States. Osprey are some of the most predictable birds on earth, as they have distinct routines that they follow every year. The osprey found on Cape Cod, for example, leave the Cape every September and head south to Central and South America. Then, like clockwork, the osprey return to Cape Cod every March, ready to hatch and care for their young. Because of their predictable nature, in addition to their enormous nests, osprey have become one of the annual seasonal traditions on Cape Cod. Once you see the osprey starting to appear, you know that spring is coming and that many other migratory species will begin arriving in the coming weeks and months. When the ospreys leave the Cape, you can be assured that colder weather is on the horizon and that other seasonal species will follow suit and head for their winter homes. Cape Cod is one of the best places in the country to do osprey watching. Captured in West Dennis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
