Osprey and Alewife

Alaska may have its famous salmon runs; New England has alewife runs in spring. Like salmon, these fish return from the ocean to swim up rivers to get to their spawning grounds. I recently got to observe this spectacle and was happy to get this shot of an osprey after a successful dive for an alewife with some nice reflections in the river of the newly leafed out green canopy.
