The male ospreys do most of the hunting and this one has managed to catch a nice sized fish that goes by many names. Some call it a “Spec” others called it a “Crappie.” Either way this fish will be an excellent food source for the family. Rate the landing 1-10. | Mark Smith Photography | Facebook

Ospreys are pretty good at catching fish. Sometimes their excellent hunting skills reward them with 2. Both of these floppy danglers are catfish and the local fishing regulations dictate 1 catfish per Osprey dive. You know what that means? This bird is breaking the law. Of course I’m kidding here ospreys can and will catch as many fish as they want but apparently this 1 only needs 1. Imagine the stories that fish will tell its grandkids. | Mark Smith Photography
