Beautiful hunting fish – Osprey in Montana

Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), when hunting on the fly, seems to glide effortlessly on water. More smaller than the eagle, an osprey is a bird of prey is still impressive. With a wingspan of up to 72 inches and 24 inches long and weighs almost 5 kilos, eagle Fisher is a wonderful addition to the rich abundance of birdlife Montana.

A beautiful fish hunter, Osprey has a distinctive white head and belly with rich feathers, dark brown that adorn his back. The bottom is white as snow, except for dark spots and brown flight feathers prohibited. Ospreys vocalize with a series of piercing whistles and chirps that become more intense if the nest is approached. Osprey nest almost anywhere near the water that provides security and an abundance of food.

Osprey prefer to nest in the tops of dead trees, however, their nests are visible on utility poles, bridge trestles and rock outcrops. Montana respect the freedom of the osprey and honored by the establishment of nesting sites. Along the rivers of Montana aviaries especially designed for safety and comfort Osprey fisherman have been installed. These platforms are an integral part of the restoration of the osprey in areas where they disappeared.

Even during their fall migration to Central and South America, ospreys, follow the river valleys to stay near water. Eagles fly fishers south of Montana in October, returning in March and April to rebuild their nests. Both women and men working to collect pieces of wood, branches and twigs to build their nest. However, it is the female of the species which most of the workforce and the office of the hierarchy. Ospreys secure and the comfort of their newborns by lining the nest with soft leaves and grass. Female osprey often decorate their nests with bits of bright paper or plastic material, found.

Like the eagle, the osprey nests reused patiently Previous years adding new materials, wind and repair of weather damage and expand your comfort zone. Over osprey nests increasingly impressive dimensions.

Osprey affinity for water scheme based on its food consists almost entirely of fresh fish. Rarely eat anything else. Osprey hunting floating on the water to a height of 200 feet, then diving feet first to catch a trout tasty. Mother Nature has provided the osprey, with sharp claws, long and barbed spicules pads call allow you to enter a slippery fish. The Osprey is also pens dense, smooth and nasal valves prevent water from flooding the nostrils when fiercely osprey diving to capture prey. Interestingly, the foot of an osprey everyone has reversible foot before it easier to understand in water. However, the Osprey can not swim and many have been known to drown. This happens if they find their claws caught in a fish too heavy and can not take off.

When an osprey successfully hits a meal, shaking their wings to dramatic, allowing water and then repositions the fish in its claws to face the front to reduce drag. Ospreys fly to a perch or has young, returning to the nest to enjoy your meal.

In late April or early May ospreys lay eggs. The normal clutch of three. Interestingly, not all eggs hatch at once, with the first chick born five days before last. A Often, the largest chicken becomes a dominant aggressor, grabbing the most delicious food brought to the nest by parents and deprive their brothers nutritional needs of many.

The mottled appearance of the chicks in the osprey nest provides excellent camouflage, however, many victims remain raccoons, owls and eagles. If you escape the clutches of predators and are able to obtain sufficient food, young osprey nest in July and August About two months have been developed to care about themselves.

Ospreys have a complex social structure. Normally, the osprey pair for life, however, if the coupling is not successful, they are looking for new partners. When an osprey fishing women choose their mating partner, not judged by appearance or fishing techniques, but, like its counterpart in humans choose the male with the best home (nest) in the best area (location). When ospreys are tired of human fatherhood, which is often denied food force to encourage the young leave the nest. We are expecting an adult to meet their needs, young people often move near osprey nests where they receive food from the other parent ospreys.

When the osprey are 3-4 years, they will find a suitable mate partner. Most male osprey return to the area that they own. The saga continues magnificent eagle fisherwoman.
