That was pretty cool .--Twice in my life I have seen a bald Eagle catch a salmon- manage to get it into shore and eat it .

I see hawks all the time, but an eagle is pretty special.

I worked at a trout hatchery for 10 years, and the osprey were ever present. They would follow me down the river as I guided the live car full of trout and stocked the river, often diving and snatching a fish I had just released.
One day, while working in a small pool full of trout, an osprey dove and grabbed a trout only a couple feet from me. It was tight quarters and very little room for the osprey to fly off with its catch. It surfaced perhaps 5 feet away from me, looked at me as if to say it needed a bit more room to fly off. I looked at it and said ‘play on’, stepped as far back as I could, and as that osprey flew past it slapped me with it’s wing.
A day I won’t forget!

We also had nets over the rearing ponds and occasionally a bird would get stuck in the net. It might be an osprey, blue heron, night heron or an Egret. I would go in with waders and gloves and free them from the net and carry them out to safety. The osprey always seemed to know I was there to help them.

It was a fun time. There were a pair of Canada geese that were my friends, an 8 pt buck that followed me around and a young swan that thought I was her boyfriend.

Did you ever explain to her why it might not work?

She was a silly bird but very sweet. I would sit on the bench and she would sit on the ground by my feet and put her head on my knee to have me pet her head. The park patrons were amazed.
And of course there were the mallards that fly up or down the river following me.
It was fun time.
