However, soon after this picture, it would drop its meal and have to make another attempt. I have yet to go visit these summertime visitors to Colorado this year but hope to soon. This previously unshared captured goes back to last May. We were camping in the area and while my crew slept in, I spent the morning watching these hawks fish for breakfast. This osprey made a low angle dive and the method was initially successful. However, it didn’t have a very good grip on the fish and dropped it before going very far.
