Any ideas of what kind of hawk this is?

Shot these pics last week at Upper Newport Back Bay, Newport Beach, CA after my doctor's appt. I go there after my doc appt every week, to relax after the doc has worked on my leg. Beautiful bird, unfortunately I missed the shot of her carrying the fish in her talons as she flew over my head. Four babies to feed, they are enormous.

Yep, Osprey. They hunt for fish in lakes and other bodies of water.

Yes, I agree we have an Osprey nest in our back yard.
