Fewer things are as neat, in this writer’s opinion, as seeing an Osprey flying overhead while you are on the boat. You can tell if you are looking at a Fish Hawk by the brown and white of their body!

Ospreys, aka Fish Hawks, are birds of prey that hunt fish right out of the river. They hover over the river, and when they find fish in the water, they dive for them. They’ve also been known to chase other birds (like Eagles) away from their territory, mostly to protect their food source.
Ospreys are very pretty birds of prey, and below we go more in-depth about these awesome Fish Hawks.
