A week or so ago, I came home after a social event and found a catfish in my driveway! I also figured that an osprey or an eagle had somehow lost its grip on its catch and had dropped it. I didn't look at it closely enough to see if I could identify claw marks - it was pretty banged up from hitting the driveway!

I left it there overnight, kind of hoping that some other predator would come and carry it away or eat it! But, it was still there in the morning, so I scooped it up and put it in my trash.

I've seen plenty of nature shows where a caught fish is dropped because another predator bird tries to take it away, but never in all my years did I ever expect to find a fish in my driveway!
