Balbuzard pêcheur - Pandion haliaetus
Osprey

Balbuzard pêcheur

Commentaire : The Osprey has one of the largest ranges of any species of bird, being found on every continent except Antarctica. There are several races of which the one I painted is native to North America. Here, in Ontario, it is quite common; I have even seen them catching fish in urban ornamental ponds. Many populations are quite migratory, moving well south (even into the southern hemisphere) of freezing conditions. So far as I know there is no northward winter migration of populations in the southern hemisphere, although some such populations are essentially non-migratory.
