Just in time and you managed to get the eye of the bird well in focus!

The very definition of the "unscheduled flight".

Thanks, guys...funny thing was he dropped this fish twice and had to retrieve it again. On one retrieval, he had to knock a pelican out of the way that came zooming in at the last moment. They were way too far away to make a decent capture but still a great sight to watch.

This is a second shot of him and his fish.

The shot shows the characteristic way that ospreys line up their fish in an aerodynamic manner. Eagles don't bother, the fish is held any which way.
