*** About Osprey: The osprey, also known as the sea hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is notable for its superb fishing capabilities and is often found near bodies of water, such as coastal regions, rivers, and lakes where it can be seen diving for fish. The osprey is particularly well adapted to its aquatic hunting lifestyle, possessing specialized physical attributes such as reversible outer toes, sharp spicules on the underside of the toes, closable nostrils to keep out water during dives, and dense plumage that is oily and water-repellent. This bird of prey is also known for its long migrations, often covering thousands of kilometers between breeding and wintering grounds.:
