*** About Osprey: Often referred to as the fish hawk, the osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a bird of prey that is renowned for its fishing prowess. Almost exclusively feeding on fish, it possesses specialized physical features such as reversible outer toes and barbed pads on the soles of its feet to help grip its catch. Ospreys are found near freshwater and marine bodies of water where fish are abundant. Unlike many other hawks, ospreys are highly migratory and can be found in a wide range of environments around the globe, making them one of the most widely distributed bird species. Their nests, often seen atop telephone poles, buoys, and other high platforms, symbolize their adaptability and resilience in various landscapes, including the lush regions of Washington State.
