31-AUG-2010	Hank v/d Velde

Note how the Osprey transports the big fish. The fish is upside down, head-first and perfectly streamlined with the direction of flight.

Very nice shot. Well done.

I would think the weight would be a bigger problem than aerodynamics, but apparently not. That is the biggest fish I have ever seen an osprey carry. Great capture.

Nice catch. If I could fish like that, it'd be fish steaks all week.
