An Osprey is also called a "fish hawk". An Osprey will pick a high spot to watch over its hunting ground and, if mated, take turns with their partner in catching fish. They will glide down over the surface of the water and grab a fish in their talons.

This Osprey and his mate hunt from a utility pole on an embankment overlooking a large area of the Indian river.

The soles of the Ospreys' feet are especially designed to hold slippery fish, and their sharp beaks can easily tear into the meat.
