Fresno Eddy... He's a friend of mine.
Two years ago, I saw an Osprey over Florence Lake with a trout in its talons. Landed on a high branch in a dead pine. After a while, it took off with the fish, flying up and away as far as I could see.
Here are the pics:
Looks like it isn't a white bird. Odd, though, because I recall thinking of it white with a little bit of dark marking. I guess the white reflects more and stands out.
Looking at the flying picture... how DOES it carry its fish? I can't quite make it out.
