Osprey video


We've all see plenty of Osprey's in Baja, but probably not this...

INCREDIBLE PREDATOR

First sequence he catches half a dozen fish in one strike.

Second sequence he plunges talons into deep water right to the bottom to grab his prey.

Third sequence he captures a big old fat fish that looks as if it weighs more than he does!

This is incredible to watch (best viewed in full screen mode)...enjoy!

Great video. How the heck do they get those shots of the bird grabbing the fish underwater?

Holy moley! That is one talented fish.I wonder the same thing as Cyanide41.Surely they can't sit in wait with camera underwater just hoping this event will happen in that certain spot??:?:

I think there are at least two cameramen on the scene. They get the video of the osprey hunting and then go back and take underwater, etc. shots of what they targeted, then splice everything together to make it flow. It is very professionally done, dontcha think?

On second thought, one cameraman (or camerawoman) could probably to it. I'm sure it would take a couple of days once you locate the activity of the osprey hunt.
