Hunting Osprey... amazing footage!!

[mtrocket]

Pretty awesome footage. Never could figure out HOW the heck the camera guys could time their filming so that they could capture these shots!!??

This is truly incredible video. I can't believe this Osprey got 5-6 fish at a time, then got a flounder
under 3' of water, and then made off with what looks to be a 5+ lb. steelhead.
I've never seen a bird shake water off like a dog does, expecially in mid-flight.

There are 3 sequences in this one video:
1st sequence he catches half a dozen fish in one strike.
2nd sequence he plunges talons into deep water right to the bottom to grab his prey.
3rd sequence he captures a big old fat fish that looks as if it weighs more than he does!
This is incredible to watch... enjoy.
