My favorite tree

There's a tree near the Astoria Mitigation Bank that has provided me with multiple photo opportunities and today was no exception. An Osprey came in and landed on the broken top and had its breakfast while I watched.

Update: Fish expert, Lee Cain, tells me the fish is an American Shad (Alosa sapidissima).
