A successful fishing expedition!
I found this female Osprey finishing off a fish across the water from me at Huntley Meadows. The photo conditions couldn't have been worse. So, I waited. Sure enough she flew away, caught another fish from the lake at Huntley Meadows, and returned. This time her perch was in a great location and I captured this image of her just before she ate the fish.
As someone commented, it looks like an expensive Koi that she has. I would have to agree, but I watched her catch it at the lake at Huntley Meadows so someone must have released a Koi into the lake. It's hard to miss that red!
Taken 18 March 2017 at Huntley Meadows Park in Virginia.
