20140630 047 Osprey 4.jpg

Ottawa West

I'm not sure what kind of fish it is carrying, but it is BIG. Dad flew over the nest where Mom and the young were waiting for breakfast. However, Dad decided to delay delivery and kept on flying out of sight. Probably to perch in some distant tree to have breakfast himself first, or on account of my presence he decided to delay delivery. I waited for him for about 45 minutes to come back, but when he didn't show up again, I decided to leave and let him make his delivery in peace.

I neglected too read under your image. It looks more like a Carp, but up your way it could also be a Sucker...

Excellent image, is that a carp or sucker?

From the look of the mouth, I'd say Carp. Hank. Terrific image.
