I was lucky enough to witness an Osprey catching a small bass at our lake house in Texas once. They always carried the fish head into the wind to diminish drag. Incredible birds.

Great video! I can’t imagine how they got that underwater shot with the flounder.
Our little conure can’t play in the same game as these guys. Of course, he isn’t partial to fish (as far as I know).
I've seen many osprey nests, but never one of the birds. Hopefully one of these days....

Cool! I remember the time I went on an Eagle Watch at a lake in California. It was the first time that I saw a bald eagle outside of captivity. What a thrill. When they took flight from a tree, the leaves blew around from the wind coming from their 6' wing span.
Amazing!

That was awesome! It makes you really appreciate their eyesight.
I was born in Great Falls, Mt. My parents moved when I was 5. I found them when I was 10 - they were in California.
