THAT is awesome. I have caught a few osprey photos but NOTHING like this! Thank you for the ping.
No offense, Swampy—I like hawks, but I love my chickens! I’d have to admit that I’d spook him if he got too close. Got a huge hawk keeping an eye on my chicks right now. So far, they’ve been smart enough to stay up under the thick woods where he can’t fly so easily.
He’s in good company—we’ve also got a bald eagle, tons of ospreys, the huge owls,(barn owls?) foxes, coyotes, bear, alligators...
Sucks to be a chicken around here!
Ospreys are fish eaters.
Nice to know! :)

Soo glad to be on your ping list. I look forward to seeing what new photos you have for us.
Love the bird pictures
Some years back we had an osprey that must have been passing through Kansas City. The osprey really enjoyed the koi and crass carp that we had in our cement pond, I mean fire protection resevoir, at work.
I saw it dive on the pond several time but it always broke off at the last minute, a couple of my co-workers saw it take off with a fish a couple of times though.
