Must have been another type of hawk than an osprey. There is a good reason why they are called fish hawks, they feed on fish caught in the water. We have perhaps 20 nesting pairs of them within 3 miles of where I live. I see them catching fish almost every day, plus it's great to watch the parents teach the fledglings how to fly and catch fish.

Same here. It's really neat to watch them break off dead branches from trees to build their nests.

They just fly up to it grab it and off they go. I have never seen one pick up a stick from the ground.
