This is what an osprey catching a fish underwater looks like.

Very impressive. I lol'd at the bird shaking water off itself mid flight. That just looked ridiculous and awesome.

I was expecting/hoping to see a bad chop involving this:

awesome! keep 'em coming.

crazy that it was carrying that huge fish with just one leg.

I had a salmon taken off my line by a bald eagle once. Very cool.

That catch at 0:56 is a chop. How could they possibly know exactly which fish to film?

Where's a salmon, there are plenty of bald eagles:

30 Bald Eagles in the back yard:

Also, I'd suggest PBS docementary:

American Eagle:

Decorah Eagles nest has 2 eggs being incubated(it's a infrared webcam - visible at night time):

Very cool. Notice how that last one, the osprey held the fish in line to reduce drag?
I've seen that several times. On our first trip to Yellowstone, we are driving along Lake Yellowstone and an osprey takes a fish ahead of us, lifts out of the water and crosses right across the hood of the car, dripping water on the windshield!

Reminds me of the infamous event where a 737 and a salmon collided in flight.

bald eagles are dirty scavengers.

I was King fishing in Alaska one weekend years ago (somewhere in the Kenai Peninsula), and it was elbow-to-elbow along the river, for 24 hours straight. freaking ridiculous.

across the river, there were a dozen Bald eagles fighting each other for scraps.

The only King I hooked that day was lost when I broke the tip of my pole trying to real that hoss in.

🙁

holy crap on the last one. Why can't natGeo show stuff like this, instead of retards yelling at each other while cutting down trees/driving trucks/whatever.

Reminds me of this:
