I zoomed in on this Osprey with my P900, as it sat in the nest at Delta Ponds. They are such pretty birds. I have seen them hover before diving and grabbing fish, as the information below mentions. The photo is also cropped a bit.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia - "
"Behavior - Ospreys search for fish by flying on steady wingbeats and bowed wings or circling high in the sky over relatively shallow water. They often hover briefly before diving, feet first, to grab a fish. You can often clearly see an Osprey's catch in its talons as the bird carries it back to a nest or perch."
"Habitat - Look for Ospreys around nearly any body of water: saltmarshes, rivers, ponds, reservoirs, estuaries, and even coral reefs. Their conspicuous stick nests are placed in the open on poles, channel markers, and dead trees, often over water."
