Osprey Picture (ID: 126)

Print Title: Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)

Greeting Card Caption: Although large birds with a wingspan of 5-1/2 feet, ospreys only weigh about 3 pounds. Females (pictured on card) are slightly larger than males and are often distinguishable by a "necklace" of dark feathers on their upper breast.

Previously an endangered species, North American ospreys are recovering and occupy much of their historical range (Arctic to South America).
