Ted thanks very much.

RKnecht Thanks a lot

Morris thanks. Indeed he did a big catfish. This guy is a real fisherman . a couple of times he has surfaced with one in each claw which is amazing.

Not an easy task to keep an osprey in focus for the dive, great job with these. Bruce

Rarely get them here as too many bald eagles to chase them away and steal their fish.

Dave, I would guess that Bald Eagles outnumber Ospreys 100 to 1 on Vancouver Island. Most Ospreys in BC are in the interior:

https://www.birdatlas.bc.ca/accounts/speciesaccount.jsp?sp=OSPR&lang=en

I have seen (no camera in hand) a Bald Eagle attack from above an Oprey carrying a fish. To defend itself, the Osprey had to drop the fish and roll over to present its talons as a defence against the eagle's talons. That Bald Eagle was so adept at this maneuver, that it caught the fish before it landed in the ocean.

Eric thanks a lot. That is my favourite as well. I have had a few others come close but not like this one where you see the eye.

This is an amazing sequence... I love the 2nd to last shot. The green water really makes the osprey stand out.
Fantastic.
