If you are new to the world of the Osprey then this video is the perfect visual example of what makes these birds the best at what they do and while the act of carefully falling out of the sky plunging talon first into a foreign underwater world vanishing below the surface while blindly grabbing for a fish that was seen mere seconds ago seems completely insane. This astonishing feat is done multiple times daily over and over again. Personally this birds undeniable quest for living has helped me sort"

Gliding effortlessly on a blanket of air. The other a master of the cold underwater currents gliding through like a ballerina.

"Bird Drops Fish Then Swallows It Whole Eventually How many of these shad do you think this anhinga will eat in one hunting session Typically four then its time to dry out the wings and enjoy a belly full of food for about an hour or two the its back into the swampy waters for more. Their success rate is pretty high though with the occasional dropped meal. The five second rule doesnt apply to these amazing creatures. If they drop their fish they often quickly grab it and quickly swallow it down. I wonder if they get any enjoyment out of the catch especially if its a large fish. OMG I cant wait"

"Great Blue Heron Pulls Massive Ancient Fish from the Water - A True Battle of Beasts Herons catch and eat huge things. I use the word things because theyll stab anything they can with that sharp spear-like beak. This one managed to pull an armored catfish from the swampy drink one of the largest Ive ever seen. The real question: does the heron actually eat this thing My past experience says yes. But well never know because this bird eventually took its new dinosaur fish friend on a sunset tour of the swamp before disappearing behind a curtain of sunbathed Spanish moss. The frogs announced the"

"Snow & Giant Pelicans - Winter Wonderland For the past week I was fortunate enough to spend my days surrounded by the wisdom of the magical and often mystical Dalmatian pelican. I witnessed them against a backdrop of Georgia O Keeffe pastels happy Bob Ross mountain ranges moody Tim Burton skies and I saw them close enough to think the magic of Jim Henson was somehow involved in the experience and when the snow started to delicately fall from the heavens I could hear a Danny Elfman soundtrack playing somewhere in my mind.

These poles were placed along the top of a bridge to prevent cars from striking birds. Its brilliant and it reduced car strikes almost completely. Instead of flying directly over the bridge and crashing into traffic the birds fly over the poles which are taller than the incoming traffic. Dominant ospreys in the area use the poles as perches. Check out the talons and how they somehow perfectly grip that tiny pole. An amazing display all around"

That is a hungry shark and it wants the osprey's fish but luckily for the osprey the shark was a millisecond too slow. Now that the osprey is free and clear of the toothy beasts below it only has to fight the wind and its floppy catch. I had an idea that this happened but this is the first time I have ever seen it"

They are masters at sitting motionless completely contained in their own little slice of the now. True meditative masters.

"Ruthless Bald Eagle Takes Down Rivals Ive watched this alpha female bald eagle tangle with rivals for years. Ive seen her rake eagles across oyster beds lock talons and spin adversaries into the mud and even take down a full-grown great blue heron. Ruthless doesnt even begin to describe her. She rules this little slice of heaven with no remorse. One moment shes calm and regal the next shes tense and ready to explode into violence. When she started closing in on this bird I knew an altercation was coming. You just never know how far it will go until it unfolds. Shes easy to pick out among the"

Some of the young birds are very aggressive. They have to be in order to survive. Food isnt always easy to come by and many times stealing it from the talons of another is much easier than trying to catch your own. Sounds an awful lot like politics"

"This Osprey Just Got Catfished Im always fascinated by what Ospreys pull from the ocean. You never know what theyll wrangle from the surf. This one Half a catfish. Just half. So what happened to the rest From the slow cautious approach I knew it was a catfish. Ospreys nearly always come in carefully when dealing with these guys. Catfish are prickly. They have sharp bony spines laced with bacteria and a mild venom. Judging by its expression I think its wondering the same thing I am: Wheres the rest of my fish"

Emerging from the saltwater soaking wet this young osprey has managed to grab a large Atlantic menhaden. Now the task of lifting this huge fish is underway. With each beat of its wings the bird surfs out on the back of its prey and when it turns to face"

Gliding high above the water it scans the surface below hesitating waiting for the perfect moment. Then it tucks its wings drops into a steep dive and plunges talons first into the ocean blindly grasping for the fish it spotted only seconds earlier from above. I dont know about you but I can barely find things in my own refrigerator. I may not be built like an Osprey but I can sure capture their magic"

In fact the first eagle to approach the waterline usually shows up a few seconds too early. This particular bird clearly had eyes on the prize as it floated to the surface but the ocean currents had other plans. And this eagle wasnt interested in getting more than a toe wet just dipped a talon in and hovered awkwardly like me every single time I go swimming. I made the foolish mistake of jumping right into a pristine turquoise high mountain lake. It was"
