Joe Brin, a local bird watching and trout fishing enthusiast, sent me these two photos and wrote the following:

"This past Thursday I was driving by Nine Mile just past the railroad underpass when I noticed a splashing in the water just south of the tunnel. Expecting a duck my wife and I were surprised to see an osprey lifting a trout from the water.

"He eventually landed right there alongside the creek in a tree and devoured the trout. There were even two less fortunate fishermen right there who witnessed the whole thing also. I wasn't fast enough to get him in the act of capturing the trout but did get some pics of him in the tree."
