[B][U][FONT=sans-serif]INCREDIBLE - BOTH THE BIRD AND THE PHOTOGRAPHY[/FONT][/U][/B][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT]
[INDENT][B][FONT=sans-serif]Hard to believe this Osprey got 5-6 fish at a time and then got a flounder under 3 feet of water and made off with what looks to be a 5+ lbs steelhead. Have you ever seen a bird shake water off like a dog does? Wouldn't want to get in its way when its eyes are locked onto you and his talons in the "load" position! The talons are amazing![/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][/B]

[B][B][FONT=sans-serif]There are 3 sequences in this one video:[/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][FONT=sans-serif]1st sequence - catches half a dozen fish in one strike.[/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][FONT=sans-serif]2nd sequence - plunges talons into deep water to grab the prey.[/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B]
[B][B][B][B][B][FONT=sans-serif]3rd sequence - captures a large fish that looks as if it weighs more than he does, then 'streamlines' the fish for less wind resistance in flight![/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]

Quite the video Sully and some good videography too. Where we're located we are blessed to see these magnificent Osprey almost every day, they are really good hunters.
