When do ospreys breed?

Osprey's breeding season varies depending on the location and climate, but they generally breed during the spring and summer months. In North America, they initiate nesting in late February to early March and egg-laying begins in mid-March to early April. In Europe and Asia, breeding commences in April to May. Within the tropics, osprey populations may not exhibit defined breeding seasons and can breed throughout the year, although they tend to nest during the drier months. It is important to note that these are approximate timelines as the specific breeding period can be influenced by various factors such as weather conditions, prey availability, and regional differences in climate.
