Saw an Osprey take a fish last night.
It's not the first time.
But it always feels like the first time...

That’s awesome!!! I was out walking by the Intracoastal in Florida when I saw an Eagle do the same. Perfect creatures…

I saw a crow pick through a McDonald's bag

I got buzzed by a bald eagle when I was back in central TN last spring - yeah. . .the big raptors are impressive in a way the red-tail hawks just can't quite pull off.

When we do our summer trip to northern Wisconsin the lake we stay at is filthy with both osprey and bald eagles. So much so they will circle your boat waiting for a throwback fish

We have qyluite a few ospreysvthat hang out along the Muskegon River where we fish...As the salmon run slows down the place will be inundated with eagles showing up to feast on dead salmon on the sand bars

Ive seen an osprey take a fish once. Fishing on a small lake in Missouri. Later we read there was a pair nesting nearby if was rare then to see an osprey. We saw the dive then grabbed a fish and made a steep climb. They are powerful flyers.
