On The Prowl

This is the shot I wish I had been able to get of the eagles I saw the other day, but I didn't. This is the same osprey you saw the other day with the fish in his talons. In fact, this picture was taken mere seconds before he dove into the pond and made the catch. You may note how his head is cocked to the side a little. When he was zeroing in on his prey, he moved his head from side to side, no doubt performing difficult trigonometric calculations in his head to be able to know exactly where his prey was.
