Osprey

This is bad ass!!!!

Badass indeed!  I like the last catch, the fish was so big the osprey couldn't really gain lift...haha.

Phenomenal camera work - awesome hunter. Thanks for the link!

 

  Definetly cool birds of prey!

During an eco-tour I took in Alaska they said, a lot of Bald Eagles die because they grab a fish that's too big to lift and they die / drown because they won't let go

cool how they try and turn then so it's aerodynamic

Loved the flatfish shot. What was that? A flounder?

Bird looked like it was skateboarding on that last fish.

I stumbled on a way to see them close up, eagles too. 

While at Union Valley fishing one day, I kicked loose a trout that didn't survive.  He was floating behind my boat when I heard a loud wind.  Down came an eagle to scoop that thing up.  He carried it above my head, hovered and screamed at me for about a full minute before taking off to a big dead tree top to enjoy his meal. 
Since that worked, I tried it on purpose.  An Osprey took the next trout.  Have your camera ready for a great photo shoot...

That was amazing, especially like the shot head on of the osprey trying to get lift.  You can really see the mechanics of the wings in action!

nature at it's finest.. the pluck trout out the water here all the time.. priceless..

Very cool. They are always on the prowl at Albion, coming out of the treeline several hundred yards away to take the floaters that are sometimes left behind. Here is a shot I took a couple of season's ago. Enjoy!

How the hell do they get those under water attack shots????

Amazing!! Thanks for sharing Andy

Loved that video

My favorite is at 2:37 in the video when the Osprey looks like he is surfing on the fish! very cool
