Headline : Osprey catches a fish on a lake in Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Caption : U.S. Wildlife photographer, Kathy Wade, captured the moment an osprey plucked a fish from a lake in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Osprey (Pandion Haliaetus) is also called a sea hawk or a fish hawk. They are a fish eating bird of prey with a range of more than 60 cm in length and 180 cm across the wings. They nest near bodies of water. Their diet consists almost exclusively of fish.
They spend summers here on coastal waters near Cape Cod, where I shot these images. During the summer, they nest near here and raise their chicks until fledging.
