Thanks for viewing/comments! This shot is 1 of 8 shot to show part of the

problem of coexistence of Osprey & Fishermen. I barely got to the park

for the weekend afternoon session (last Saturday) and saw this Osprey

diving (got about 3 shots and this one is the last good diving one),

hence, I thought to myself 'what luck!' and continue shooting till the bird

ended up on the grass with the fisherman holding a rod near by that I

onlly realize then that the bird had gone down for the plastic fish the

fisherman had used to try to catch Bass. Well, one hand holding the

camera + lens and the other hand I have to try to hold the bird still for the

fisherman to remove the one hook that snag into his leg. Took a while

since the fisherman (young man) seems to be scared of the talons and

keep yanking the hook out (with a scissors) instead of sliding the hook

back up. He got the wound a bit much larger than needed to remove the

hook and the bird bleed some but after 45 minutes or so the Osprey

continue fishing and did get a fish on the 2nd attempt.
