Occasionally, the osprey may prey on rodents, rabbits, hares, other mammals, snakes, turtles, frogs, birds, salamanders, conchs, and crustaceans. [41] [42] [43] Reports of ospreys feeding on carrion are rare. They have been observed eating dead white-tailed deer and Virginia opossums. [44] Adaptations [ edit ] Olson, S.L. (1985). "Chapter 2.

Other schemes place it alongside the hawks and eagles in the family Accipitridae. The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy has placed it together with the other diurnal raptors in a greatly enlarged Ciconiiformes, but this results in an unnatural paraphyletic classification.

The oldest European wild osprey on record lived to be over thirty years of age. In North America, great horned owls ( Bubo virginianus), golden eagles ( Aquila chrysaetos), and bald eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are the only major predators of ospreys, capable of taking both nestlings and adults. [55] [56] [57] [58] [59] However, kleptoparasitism by bald eagles, where the larger raptor steals the osprey's catch, is more common than predation. The white-tailed eagle ( Haliaeetus albicilla), which is very similar to the bald eagle, may harass or prey on the osprey in Eurasia. [60] Raccoons ( Procyon lotor) can be a serious threat to nestlings or eggs if they can access the nest. [61] Endoparasitic trematodes ( Scaphanocephalus expansus and Neodiplostomum spp.) have been recorded in wild ospreys. [62] Migration [ edit ] a b Cooper, J.C. (1992).

In flight, the osprey has arched wings and drooping "hands", giving it a gull-like appearance. The call is a series of sharp whistles, described as cheep, cheep, or yewk, yewk. If disturbed by activity near the nest, the call is a frenzied cheereek! [27] When it comes to getting into your swimsuit or wetsuit on the beach or in the car park, it can sometimes be a struggle to save your dignity and not expose yourself. Brands like Zone 3and Robie Robeshave created the beach changing robe, which simply goes over your head and enables you to get changed without exposing yourself. Ospreys are a common feature of First nations artwork in the Pacific Northwest, such as Kwakwakaʼwakw art. They are often used to depict the mythical thunderbird.a b Dennis, T.E. (2007).

Choosing the right size is important with any garment, but especially so with one that you intend to use to help you change into and out of awkward items of clothing such as a wetsuit. Thankfully, Dryrobe has an interactive size guide that will ask you to plug in your vital statistics before recommending a size. Mayr, Gerald (2006).
