I’m always amazed at bird’s ability to capture prey. Cormorants especially. These birds catch fish underwater by doing nothing more than chasing them down and grabbing them with their mouths. This bird caught a prized large mouth bass but can it swallow this massive fish? | Mark Smith Photography

The Osprey is still my favorite bird to photograph and film. Their abilities never stop blowing my mind, and this one? Absolutely incredible.From the high-speed, feather-perfect dive, to the insane precision of snatching a needlefish right off the surface.Even with that slippery, lively cargo, it lifts off like it’s nothing. No one else around. Just me, the bird, and a reminder that nature doesn’t stop performing. Glad I’m not a fish! | Mark Smith Photography

This bird’s plumage always steals the spotlight—and rightfully so—but it’s rare to catch them in the act of feeding. It’s a spectacle in its own right. With their spoon-shaped bill slightly open, they sweep side to side, feeling for the tiniest vibrations in the water. When they do, snap! The trap closes, and in a flash, the minnow is tossed back like a piece of popcorn. On to the next. Nature at its finest. | Mark Smith Photography

Now this is how you make an entrance! Seeing the full wingspan of an eagle never really gets old does it? Slowing things down and filming them in slow motion just makes the entire experience even better. From the graceful midair bank, to the delicate landing on a bed of razor sharp oysters. It’s easy to see why these birds rule the skies. | Mark Smith Photography

The ability these birds have to steer their bodies through the air is simply amazing. Controlling every single micro adjustment with their wings and feathers until they reach their intended target. In this case a wounded Hake fish that is nothing more than a snack. This bird will be back for more! | Mark Smith Photography

Eagle Comes In Hot! Then the Plot Twists. I Never Expected This!The dynamics of nature are always so unpredictable. They’ve taught me some pretty powerful lessons. Mainly to lower my expectations, or better yet, remove them altogether. You can carry all the knowledge of past experiences in your mind, but you’ll never truly know what’s waiting for you out there.This eagle video is a perfect example. As the bird came careening out of the sky, I was sure it was about to snatch a meal right off the

One of the Craziest Bird Battles I’ve Ever Seen Two truths I’ve learned from many hours photographing and filming birds, 1: Persistence Pays. 2: Birds have a tough life! Every single day is a fight for survival. Food isn’t always plentiful and when it’s scarce, fights happen. This fight for survival had many different characters and I’m very curious to hear what everyone thinks of the birds that star in this unscripted, spontaneous scene especially the “one.” You’ll know it when you see it. Ouch
