The osprey surfed on water for two to three times.  Any idea of what the purpose was of this act?  Thank you.

Possibly dragging for fish (rather like a skimmer), or hoping to scare one into revealing itself for capture.  I've seen them seize fish directly with a snatch into the water but never seen them do this- interesting photos.

This was also the first time I saw this.  This osprey did not (or failed to) drag out any fish by doing this.
