Don’t worry - a photo on Flickriver

Don’t worry

            While visiting a restaurant in Florida in December of 2015, an osprey took a catfish some 25 yards or so from our table in the river below. 

Since I do have just a trace of dinning etiquette, I always place my camera somewhere around me and never on the table. In this case, it was on the floor next to my feet. I grabbed it quickly, jumped up with enough excitement that everyone around stopped eating and serving and captured this shot as the osprey hauled the remarkably large catfish to the top of a power pole maybe 45 feet away.

Isn’t it funny how it could be conceived that the osprey is simply consoling a troubled friend with a pat on the head…
