This is an Asian Carp. An invasive species that is a real probelm in some parts.

Kinda makes you wonder what he is thinking!

    By the placement of the talons and the look of the expression on his face, it appears he may already be done "thinking".:wow

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I think he's thinking, "Ooohhhh, <blank>" (you fill in the blank :D )

    I saw a news segment on these last week. They are dangerous to boaters as they will jump right in. Looks like this Osprey caught it right out of the air!

    I saw the same segment. They really are becoming very troublesome.

    Very nice catch Claude. At least the fish do see something of this world before he become birdfood.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Dick.
