fish eagles
Seafood-hunting hawks
Fish eagles are large raptors that hunt primarily over water, snatching fish from near the surface with their talons.
The term covers several species across different continents, including the African fish eagle and the bald eagle of North America.
They typically nest near lakes, rivers, or coastlines and are known for their distinctive calls.
