  2. I like watching one rip a fish to bloody gobbets. Reminds me how its a dangerous world.

    1. Like watching a Red-tail devouring lunch on a big Oak limb 30 feet in the air. Vicious.

      The human hunter kills his harvest, then cuts it up to pack it home.
      In Mother Nature's world, a 'harvested' critter gets eaten alive.
      Tell me again which is more 'humane'.

  5. Probably an eagle close by waiting to rob it. The ospreys grab fish out of the river here, then the eagles (sometimes Bald, sometimes Goldens) that wait in the trees along the bank harass the osprey till they give up and drop the fish and the eagle snatches it in midair.
