Osprey (painting)

This acrylic painting is taken from a photo of a bird of pray the Osprey.
The osprey (/ˈɒspri, -preɪ/;[2] Pandion haliaetus), historically known as sea hawkriver hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnalfish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
