Fish shown recently were being eaten by an eagle, a loon, and a heron. The fish shown now is in the clutches of an osprey.
Birds have not been shown being eaten by a fish. Apparently, fish are not at the top of the food chain.
An osprey settles in to eat a fish (a kokanee, see comments below).
That is one pretty fish! Is it a Squawfish?
Oops! I meant ‘Northern Pike Minnow’?
Carlo, I await word from a (politically correct) ichthyologist.
Carlo, Joe Thorley of Poisson Consulting has just written me to say:
Whitefish! We caught one last week. They are part of the salmonoid family, with a smaller head & the yellow fins. And the flesh was full of small bones, so won’t be forgetting that!
Thanks! Always willing to learn.
loved that heron-eating-fish series a couple days back and this one too.
You sure capture great pictures.
