. . . but wanted to post these pics.
This is an official photo of Ospreys.
And an official description:
Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons.
Everywhere you go around Florida you will see platforms atop electric/phone poles with Osprey nests built on them. Here's Jim's photo of one.
And in another, totally unrelated photo, I want this.
That is all!

Wow, interesting birds! I didn't even know that ospreys are birds. Now I'll need to check up what they are called in Finnish. Regards, Marina
