Iwatched the ospreys hunting over the lake behind the house. one by one, they would stalk the defenseless fish swimming too close to the surface and then dive into the lake when they'd selected their victim. not a moment later, they'd break through the surface with a poor fish flailing and fighting for its life, only to carry it away and bring it to its final demise.

which words reveal how the author feels about the birds?

dive, break
stalk, defenseless
lake, house
lake, swimming

The answer are the words "stalk and defenseless."

Explanation:

The words that make it obvious how the author feels about the birds are stalk and defenseless because the author is describing how the fish in the lake fall victim to the birds. It seems the author does not like the birds for their instinct to stalk their prey by watching the fish in the lake closely. The author seems dismayed that it would only take the ospreys a moment to catch the fish who have no way to defend themselves against the birds.
