Description
This osprey was bathing in the water when I approached it. As expected, it just flew away which enabled me to take the close up shot of this beautiful bird. Osprey is beautiful, powerful and agile fisherman!
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.
