Family Pandionidae, commonly known as ospreys, is a group of fish-eating birds of prey found all over the world. Some of the synonyms for this family include the sea hawk, fish eagle, and river hawk. The osprey is distinguished by its unique hunting technique, which involves plunging feet first into water to catch fish. These birds mate for life and build nests, often on platforms near water sources. They are considered important indicators of the health of their ecosystems due to their reliance on clean water and fish populations. With their distinctive appearance and behavior, ospreys are a fascinating and iconic part of the natural world.
