I am lucky enough to live in a place where there are a lot of Osprey and I always enjoy photographing them. Seeing them pull fish from the water is just mind blowing but there has been one shot that has always eluded me, not anymore. I got the shot and a few others. I made a video of the adventure. Enjoy!

Great video with excellent still shots of the Osprey's awesome talons. Those muscular legs, are also an important factor in a successful fish hunt. Thanks for sharing..

As always some top notch shots in the video. Thanks! When the shad and herring run here it is non stop action. We like the juveniles as they often miss their catch. When well fed they all just hang out in the trees but the juvies have to keep diving. A fish on each talon is common but my friend has a 3 fish shot. I have a shot where one grabbed and carried away a river rock.

Nicely done, Mark.
