Photo from the Field: Ridgway’s osprey

Back from Belize and summarizing results from our study of the Ridgway’s osprey

Ridgway’s ospreys (Pandion haliaetus ridgwayi) are lighter than their north american counterparts. With a pale eye stripe and lighter plumage on their wings and back, they appear “white-washed” in appearance. Photo by Ben Wurst.

Stay tuned for a series of blog posts (with plenty of photos) from our work with ospreys in Belize.
