Osprey fishing trip

Saw this Osprey Sunday afternoon trying to pull a large gold fish out of Bluewater Lake. The fish must have been hooked/attached to the bottom, because he kept going under the water and coming up with it, but couldn't get it out of the water and ended up flying off without it.  Too bad, it was a nice fish.

 



From me and Katie, have a great Monday, everyone!  :)

  2. Love the pictures. I am in awe that he could not get that fish out. Wonder if it was just too heavy?

  7. Incredible pictures! I've never seen a gold fish that big? I wonder what it was. Reminded me of this video of an Osprey fishing. You always seem to be in the right place at the right time! :)

  8. Great shots! What a story. Probably the guy was too heavy. My guess that the gold fish might be a pet koi that someone slipped out when it got to big for the fish tank. These carps fish can grow up to 36" and can reach an age of 20 to 30 years. Maybe not in the wild with hungry ospreys around. :))
