In 1854, Henry David Thoreau wrote about an osprey fishing over Walden Pond in his classic Walden.
The passage reads "...a fish hawk dimples the glassy surface of the pond and brings up a fish..."This one was hanging around a few abandoned Great Blue Heron nests doing some active fishing in the pond surrounding the dead tree it was standing upon. It is a great experience to witness these wild birds.
