Eagle eating a carp in flight

Cool pic.

 

I remember one day sitting on the riverbank not catching anything when we saw an osprey land in a dead tree across the river from us. He sat up there for a bit then, all of a sudden, he swooped down into the river with a big splash and then comes up with a 1 or 2 lb. fish (looked like a sucker).

Then!! He flew right by us, about twenty feet away, holding this fish in his claws and looking me right in the eye.

I swear he was sticking his tongue out at me. :angry:

We have a Osprey nesting box right above our dock.. They truely are amazing birds. I wish I had a better lens for my DSLR..the Kawartha Osprey are truely one of natures beautifull sights. If your ever in Havelock go to marions bait and tackle. He has a mounted and stuffed Golden eagle he caught in a fox snare in the early 70's over the worm fridge..That bird is HUGE.
