Description
I have seen this osprey couple for a few years living at the top of a light pole. The more I know about wild birds, the more I know many of them especially raptors mate for life.
Osprey
The genus, Pandion , is the sole member of the family Pandionidae, and used to contain only one species, the osprey ( P. haliaetus ). The genus Pandion was described by the French zoologist Marie Jules César Savigny in 1809. [3] [4] Most taxonomic authorities consider the species cosmopolitan and conspecific. A few authorities split the osprey into two species, the western osprey and the eastern osprey . The osprey differs in several respects from other diurnal birds of prey.
