We have ospreys and bald eagles in the river in front of our house. I've never seen one actually diving, but I have seen an osprey eating its fish dinner in a tree.

We don't have eagles but we do have ospreys. It is a rare treat to see them catch their dinner but I rarely get to see them eat them since there nests are further down the lake. Great puzzle

A couple of years ago I had an eagle drop a fish on the hood of my car. I crested a hill, the eagle was in the road dining on a fish. The eagle tried to take off carrying the fish, but couldn't get enough lift and had to release the fish to avoid crashing into my car. Some of the fish got stuck in the grille. Yuck!

ah the almighty grill that catches everything, but a fish, that's a good one joel

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

I love grilled fish. Although, this bird wanted sushi.

A very fun solve. I enjoyed the pun too, and an amusing image!

I got stuck on the color logic in the bottom and noticed you could use each-way logic on row 2. So I felt smart about that. But I eventually wound up using the same sort of color logic anyway. (Yeah, I solved it twice once I looked at the comments.)

One day I was fishing, catching nothing for hours, and an osprey appeared out of nowhere, swooped down and grabbed a big bass, and flew off. I was so mad!
