Ospreys certainly make quite a splash while fishing – the sound the osprey makes as it hurtles into the water is distinct. Even with my back turned I know when an osprey has struck the lake.

In response to a question being asked about the first osprey photo: it took the male osprey 7 seconds from striking the water to clearing the water with the large bass. Here is part of the struggle between as yet unseen fish and hungry osprey.
