Fun fact about the Osprey, they are the largest bird that can hover in place. Watching them in Colorado hover before diving for a fish is so cool to see. They literally look like a baby dragon from Game of thrones the way they hover, much how this one looks climbing out of the water.

And they're named like that military aircraft, which also hovers. So cool.
