[obol] Amazing osprey photography

[Roy Lowe]

During seabird monitoring at Yaquina Head  a number of years ago by  
the U of W an adult bald eagle swooped into the common murre colony on  
Colony Rock and snatched two adult murres off the rock, one in each  
talon!  Both murres were struggling as the eagle flew in the direction  
of the nest and one murre was able to break free over the beach and  
regain tis freedom.  Two small trout by an osprey......no big deal!
