The breast of the Goshawk has thin, dark streaks. These streaks are absent in the Osprey. The Osprey, during the breeding season, is usually found along the margins of lakes, ponds, and open swamps. They are commonly found nesting in dead trees sitting in the open water. Ospreys are also found along seacoasts.
Ospreys feed on fish.
They search for fish by flying or hovering over the water. If a fish is sighted, they dive steeply into the water grabbing the fish with their talons. Ospreys have the unusual habit of always flying with the fish facing forward in their talons and will adjust the fish's position if necessary. The call is a loud chirping. The feeding behavior was noted above.
