I Feel Lucky

Last weekend I stopped at a bird-watch tower to photograph some of the moving birds and saw something exciting. About half-way to my session, I saw many of the birds taking off and chasing a bird. It was an osprey looking for a prey. He took only a few rounds and dived into the water. When he was back in the air, he held a huge bream. After turning it head first, he flied away.

Thanks everyone. Trailhead, I have read that this is common behavior of the eagle... a kind of symbiosis :). I haven't seen that myself.

National Geographic says "Eagles often force osprey to drop fish that they have caught and steal them in midair."
