Default Wow!....Look at this Osprey!

Osprey Catching Fish-

First sequence he catches half a dozen fish in one strike.

Second sequence he plunges talons-first into deep water right to the bottom to grab his prey.

Third sequence he captures a big old fat trout that looks as if it weighs more than he does!


Amazing photography

Default Wow!

Had no idea that they were that canny and strong. Fascinating to watch the talons open before they swoop, like they are planning the move. DH saw a hawk on our back wall and is concerned about our little dogs. After watching this I can see why. Don't know which big birds are carnivores and won't take a chance now!
