Default Red tail hawk landing in water?

A Red tailed hawk passed by my boat carrying a walleye about 12" long and very much alive in its talons. It landed in the lake about 30 feet off shore and started pecking at the fish as we got closer it took off with fish in talons then headed inland. I've never seen a raptor land in water like that I was thinking he was losing his fish and had to make an emergency landing.
Is it normal for hawk to land on water?
