Known scientifically as Pandion haliaetus, they are found near estuaries, rivers, and lakes where they build their nests atop tall structures or trees. These birds are unique among raptors for their diet that consists almost exclusively of fish. Ospreys are migratory and are found in temperate and tropical regions of all continents except Antarctica. Their ability to adjust to varied environments makes them a common subject for both wildlife enthusiasts and conservation efforts. ***
