Not One but TWO! Yes, two fish at the same time. One in each talon. The osprey tried hard to hold onto both fish, but, one got away; you can see the fish drop away. I believe this is a subadult male – about 2-years-old – and still without a mate. As strong and determined as he is, he probably won’t have trouble finding a suitable mate late next winter. WOW! Two at Once!!!
Wow is right!! Looks like that youngster has a bright future ahead of him…..

Seeing that the osprey like to orient the fish for flight makes me wonder if he realized he had two and lost the right talon figuring to orient the heavy load of catfish. Just wondering. Had quite a good haul though!

Great thoughts. That may very well be the reason for the outcome.
