This is incredible to watch!  Watch to the end. He catches a fish larger than him.
First sequence he catches half a dozen fish in one strike.
Second sequence he plunges talons-first into deep water right to the bottom to grab his prey.
Third sequence he captures a big old fish that looks like it weighs more than he does!

Ospreys are amazing.  We have them here in Florida too.  Saw one catching a fish in the lake just three weeks ago or so.

That last one he caught was certainly a huge one.  I thought he was gonna lose it for a minute.

  It's to bad the Henry is a chicken hawk instead of a fish hawk.  Hell, he would want a beer and tartar sauce with it.   :biggrin:
