Description:

A raptor whose diet consists mostly of fish. White ventrally, brown dorsally and has black eye-patches.

Varying habitats as long as there is a body of water containing a food source.

Notes:

It wasn't until I saw through my telephoto lens that this osprey had just snatched up a scup (Stenotomus chrysops).
