When an Osprey catches a fish they take it off to the side and bite the head off before eating it, so they don't have to mess with the gills. This Osprey could not wait til he took it to the nest to eat. He was taking a big bite as he flew. Tiger Tail Estuary, Marco Island. Please enjoy the download

Beautiful shot. The talons are really sharp in DL. I always thought the male ate the head and gave the rest to the female and young in the nest. Learn something new everyday. Gary
