WILDLIFE DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE
WILDLIFE SPECIES: Pandion haliaetus | Osprey 



GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : 
The osprey is nearly worldwide in distribution.  It breeds in temperate
and tropical regions of all continents except South America.  In North
America the subspecies carolinensis breeds from northwest Alaska and
northern Yukon to central Labrador and Newfoundland and south to Baja
California, central Arizona, southern Texas, the Gulf Coast, and
southern Florida [5,28].  They are migratory throughout most of their
range, wintering in Central and South America as far south as Argentina
and Chile [4,25].  Populations in southern Florida, Baja California, and
the Pacific coast of Mexico are year-round residents [25].  The
distributions of the other three subspecies are as follows [4]:

P. h. haliaetus - occurs from the Palearctic (Europe, the northwest
                  coast of Africa, and Asia north of the Himalayas).
P. h. ridgwayii - occurs in the Caribbean
P. h. cristatus - occurs in Australia, New Guinea, and nearby South
                  Pacific islands.

PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Ospreys occur in a variety of plant communities in association with
riparian habitat including shrublands, grasslands, swamps, and
coniferous and deciduous forests [14,24,30].  In Minnesota, ospreys nest
most frequently in lowland communities such as those dominated by black
spruce (Picea mariana) and tamarack (Larix laricina) [17].  In
California, ospreys are primarily associated with ponderosa pine (Pinus
ponderosa) and mixed-conifer types [30].
