BIRD 2009 OSPREY AIRMAIL STAMP WITH HOLOGRAM


The ospreys come to Suriname from North America. Most of them are here from August to April, but some spend the whole northern summer in Suriname, most of them fish in the lagoons in the northern part of Suriname and once as many as 30 were seen above and around the same lagoon But you can also find them fishing in rivers far from the coast. Flying over the water, they dive down with their feet first to grab a fish, then fly off to a tree to eat it.
