ospreys
Fish-catching hawks
Ospreys is the plural of osprey, a large fish-eating bird of prey found near water on every continent except Antarctica.
Ospreys hover over lakes and rivers, then plunge feet-first to snatch fish from the surface.
A pair of ospreys nested on the channel marker.
The word also names a type of military aircraft.
