Eye on the Prey
An osprey homing in on a fish and beginning his descent. Unfortunately there were trees between me and the water so I was unable to capture the actual grab. He got one though. I love the impressive and specially adapted talons of these beautiful birds of prey. They grab a fish from all directions insuring that even the slipperiest and wiggliest victim cannot escape.
