Osprey is at the top of its food chain. But on the food web, there must be something that eat the osprey, like falcons. And sometimes bald eagles, sea birds will harass the osprey giving up the meal they catch (or to die in a chase). Even though accidents they make, like being too greedy and catches a fish too large that it can't afford to carry it and is drowned by the fish, or crossing a motorway carelessly and has a car accident, or having bad luck on its migration route, or being a target of a person's gun, etc can be lethal.
