An osprey(Pandion haliaetus) is capable of reaching speeds of about 30-40 miles an hour while flying. They are primarily fish hunters and will often dive straight down toward their prey in the water, reaching speeds of nearly 80 mph! Right before they hit the water they pull up slightly, plunging in talons first, so they can capture the unlucky fish that ventured a bit too closely to the water's surface.
