Composition. Osprey. Pandion haliaetus.
Our only raptor that plunges into the water. Large (spread 4,5-6ft.) blackish above, white below.
Head largely white, suggesting Bald Eagle, but with a broad black cheeck path.
Ofen flies with an angle in the wing, showing a black "wrist" patch below. Hovers on beating wings and plunges feet-first for fish.
Voice: A series of sharp, annoyed whistles, cheep, cheep, or yewk, yewk, etc. Near nest, a frenzied cheereek!
