Before, during, and after fishing in the Northwest US and Canada, I would frequently see Osprey. They are highly specialized birds of prey found on every continent except Antarctica. However, it does need water that contains fish. So while I often saw them when living and traveling throughout the Northwest, here in Arizona its another story. An Osprey sighting in Southern Arizona gets mentioned in birding news.
The Osprey's diet is almost exclusively fish. It has very large eyes and can see through water to detect its prey. It has the ability to close its nostrils to prevent water from getting in during a dive.

Here is a "5" Star Osprey Photo taken in British Columbia back in the late 1990's.
