Ospreys of the Yellowstone
Skinner MP. 1917. Ospreys of the Yellowstone. The Condor. 19(4):117-121
The old-time beaver trappers, gold miners, and explorers in the West were too oblivious of bird-life to leave us any records. But since the earliest of the scientific parties to visit the Yellowstone record the abundance of ospreys (Pandion haliaetus carolinensis), we can assume that this region has always been a favorite habitat for them. At the present time these birds attract a great deal of attention from tourists, who know them as "eagles".
