Catch of the Day
I have a weakness for osprey in action. Someone said that the osprey they watch back east fly along and scoop the fish out of the water. I think I've seen that once. The osprey here plunge into the water and are usually completely submerged before they come back up with their catch. Quite a thrill to watch in my opinion. I like seeing the water action that flies off their wings and tail as they come out of the water. I'm guessing it's because they go under water that they need to quickly survey the surroundings when they come out. Either way, it gives us a chance to see those intense eyes.
