Yesterday morning the marsh pond was teeming with small fish that were visible close to the surface of the water.

The situation did not escape the notice of an osprey that was scouting out the area.

This osprey came in talons first and scooped itself out one of those little fish and flew off with it.

Ospreys normally would prefer a much larger fish but…when the pickings get this easy, they will take advantage of the opportunity!
