OSPREY FISHING


Here's a shot I keep hoping will happen a bit closer to the beach. Their are a few osprey's that live near the beach and every now and then they fly by to go fishing. Usually they are quite a ways up and out, so getting a closeup is kind of hard. Anyways, this osprey was flying by with a fish and I was able to snap a shot of them. It's pretty neat to watch the osprey kill the fish. Soon after diving into the water and catching the fish, they literally shake it to death. It almost looks like the bird is being shaken out of the sky, but it's actually shaking the fish to kill it. Pretty neat if you've never seen it. Hope you enjoy the shot.
