Double Kill - Seq1
What are the odds for an Osprey to catch two fish in one dive? And for that matter two different coloured fish? Read on. I was hooked into Osprey photography when I first saw them in a local pond back in 2013. Since then, every summer I spend good amount of hours over the week-ends scouting various storm water ponds for a chance to see the spectacle. It is quite challenging as one doesn't know where it is going to dive or which direction it is going to fly. The statistics that I have collected over the years seems to indicate that the Ospreys have been successful in catching a fish from these ponds in 70% of their dives with less than 5% of those with a pair of fish. In case anybody wondering, the Osprey eventually let one drop - not sure why. In those instances where they got two fish, I have never seen them carrying both fish beyond the boundary of the pond, they always seem to let one drop. Markham, Ontario.
