Actually - by looking at the pattern of shadows on the fish and knowing the they only swim upstream in Alaska - it is clear that the Osprey is flying north therefore the fish is her BREAKFAST

Wrong... you can tell that it was breakfast because the rearmost talon on the osprey's right leg is not piercing the fish.

I have no idea what you were looking at.
