An Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) hovering over an inlet at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in coastal Orange County, southern California. This raptor, found virtually world-wide, has been something of a puzzle to taxonomists because of several atypical anatomical features. For instance, they can move the outer toe backwards and they have horny scales on their feet, the better to catch their fishy prey. They are currently classified in a family of their own, Pandionidae.
