Wow, did he manage to fly away with it - it's amazingly large.

No, the Osprey let go of it for being too large. Thank you very much, DebAnn.

WorldTraveler Loc: San Antonio, TX, now in Greenfield IN

Was that taken in Alaska any where near the Russian River and/or the Denali river? I spent 4.5 years (1970-'71 then again '76-'79, compliments of my Uncle Sam.) in the area. That fish is in the last of it's life. When they start the "breeding" return, the Red Salmon (or Sockeye, as it is also called), is a bright silvery, healthy color. After they have been in the fresh water. And are, or already spawned, they become more red color and not as firm, as do most other species. The capture by the eagles and other predators, such as black bears, grizzly bears. They rapidly become not really tasty for human consumption. In any case, a great picture and makes me wish I was still up there.
