A bird with a fish in its claws taking off over water.

It's time to slow down and admire some pretty things. Today: an Osprey catching lunch

This afternoon at Huntley Meadows park I was lucky enough to see this Osprey catch a fish

Osprey dives into water, oily feathers and sleek shape helping it slice through. Scales on talons act like barbs, ensuring fish can't escape.
