Another name for the "fish hawk" is the Osprey. Actually, another name for the Osprey, since that is its true name, is the "fish hawk." The Osprey splashes into the water, catches the fish, and flies off. Bald Eagles are fish eaters too but they usually catch their prey near the surface, rarely entering the water as Ospreys do.

Do ospreys have enemies?
The osprey has two enemies. One is pesticides -- the species was nearly done in by DDT and the like a few decades ago. It has bounced back and is now regarded, not as endangered, but threatened. The other enemy is the eagle. Eagles like fish and, when the opportunity presents itself, would rather take one from an osprey than catch one itself. Many observers have reported seeing eagles swoop down upon an osprey to steal the fish it is carrying. The osprey may drop its catch right away or it may try some evasive tactics. But dodging an eagle while carrying a fish is not easy, and sooner or later the osprey drops the fish and the eagle catches it in midair.
