The Chase

My internet was down since Saturday, thus no posts.  Here is another shot in the same series.  Osprey fairly often do drop the fish in these situations, but it isn't because they get rattled by the eagle.  They are able to out-manuever them quite easily.  The fish are slippery and keeping a grip for an extended period is not all that easy.  Dropping a fish is a lose-lose situation since I have never seen either bird able to recover one - even when it was dropped over land instead of water.
