More info: Unlike most birds of prey, ospreys are tolerant of human activities and will build nests on almost any suitable structure close to water with an abundant supply of fish.
Ospreys catch fish by hovering and then plunging up to 3 feet (1 meter) into the water to capture their prey. Their dense, oily feathers make them well suited to repel water and quickly regain flight. The male brings fish to the female throughout the incubation and nestling periods. An osprey pair raising two nestlings consumes about 375 pounds (170 kilograms) of fish during the breeding season.
