Osprey Guarding It's Nest

Medium-sized raptors also known as Fish Hawks, Sea Hawks and River Hawks

---

---

These beautiful birds of prey can always be found nesting near almost any body of water that holds fish.

Fish are pretty much the only thing on the menu for these creatures and they have a physical feature that really sets them apart from almost all of the other raptor species.

The osprey has a reversible outer toe that allows them to wrap two talons on both the front and the back of their prey. This is especially useful when it comes to grabbing slippery fish from the waters they hunt.
