We was running a ditch in the marsh and an Osprey swooped down right in front of us and caught a marsh hen, the single coolest thing I've ever seen outdoors.

Are you sure it was an Osprey, they are fish eating birds!

I think a peregrine falcon is about the same colors as an osprey and I see quite a few of them tear up the teal around our marsh.
