Upped the bitrate upon editing to ensure the best viewing experience! This video consists of 8 clips. This happened at Saint Mary's Lake. You'll see the female preening. I threw a fish, then blew my whistle. The Osprey did actually turn her head and start head-bobbing, which indicates hunting behavior. However, the Osprey did not move from that spot! I also found another fish that's been laying on the grass for hours. It was all rotten and dried out, even worse looking than my rotten fish! My fish actually looks fresh in comparison, which I've kept and refroze since July! See footage of me talking about Ospreys not eating my fish right here (its on a different YouTube channel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3qvf3VNAwE

Also, there was a point where 2 people were walking underneath the Osprey, but she didn't fly off surprisingly! I decided to proceed towards her! You can see footage of me walking around the Osprey and dropping the fish underneath her in a different video (taken with my iPhone instead of this bulky camera). And no, the Osprey still didn't take the fish! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6l05JU3ucE
