Here's my Osprey... I'm working side-by-side on my next 2 projects at once, "Hawks of the New World" and "Hawks of the Old World"... While Osprey are part of the New World set, they are found on all continents except Antarctica. Individuals in the tropics and subtropics are resident, but others migrate to the lower latitudes of the Amazon Basin, South America’s northern coast, or West Africa in the non-breeding season. Osprey are also known as "Sea Hawks" or Fish Eagles". Fish make up 99% of the osprey's diet. Osprey may prey on rodents, rabbits, hares, amphibians, other birds, and small reptiles. Ospreys have vision that is well adapted to detecting underwater objects from the air. Prey is first sighted when the osprey is 10–40 m above the water, after which the bird hovers momentarily then plunges feet first into the water. Ospreys, however, are unable to dive deeper than 1 m (3 feet) in water so shallow fishing grounds are preferred. Several studies have shown that ospreys caught fish on at least 1 in every 4 dives, with success rates sometimes as high as 70 percent. The average time they spent hunting before making a catch was about 12 minutes. The osprey differs in several respects from other diurnal birds of prey. Its toes are of equal length. The osprey and owls are the only raptors whose outer toe is reversible, allowing them to grasp their prey with two toes in front and two behind. This is particularly helpful when they grab slippery fish. Rendered in Poser 2014 without postwork.
