A Seahawk is an Osprey, it's just another name for the same bird. Ospreys are birds that live on rivers and seacoasts everywhere in the world. They have a wingspan of 4 to 6 feet, and their bodies are 22" to 25" long. They soar over the water to hunt fish. Unlike eagles, they often dive completely underwater, and grab their prey with their powerful talons.
