The osprey is perhaps best recognized from afar by its high- pitched piercing whistle.
Osprey have a unique fishing style.
After spotting its target, sometimes from as high as 100 feet, the Osprey dives head first towards the water pulling up only at the last minute to grab the fish with its talons. Osprey almost always catch and eat their fish live. Osprey usually mate for life. The female chooses the male on the basis of the quality and location of the nest he builds. The nest resembles a large basket built out of sticks, and can often be seen in the tops of dead trees.
