摄影师在狩猎模式下拍摄的鱼鹰照片显示了自然界中一切都是经过计算的

Watching the majestic osprey soar through the sky is a sight to behold. It takes a skilled photographer to shoot pictures of them when they’re flying. And an even better artist to get photos of them when they’re in the middle of hunting.

看着威风凛凛的鱼鹰在天空中翱翔是一种值得观赏的景象。当他们飞行的时候，需要一个熟练的摄影师来给他们拍照。一个更好的艺术家在他们狩猎的时候给他们拍照。

Enter Chen Chengguang, a Taiwanese photographer who takes artistic photos of birds. Some of his best work involves immortalizing ospreys with his camera lens. Especially his chronophotographs where pics of ospreys diving toward their prey are taken in several frames and then composited into one image.

After osprey catch fish, they orient them headfirst to minimize wind resistance

Ospreys live up to 30 years in the wild, according to National Geographic. They almost exclusively feast on fish-flesh. In fact, fish make up 99 percent of their diet. That’s some serious pescetarianism right there (minus the veggies).

据《国家地理》报道，鱼鹰在野外可以活到30岁。他们几乎只吃鱼肉。事实上，鱼占他们饮食的99%。这是严重的鱼素主义(不包括蔬菜)。

These birds mostly live around bodies of water because of their diets. Their bodies are perfect for hunting fish: they have curved claws and pads on their feet, which means their prey has little chance of escaping.

Ospreys dive to the water’s surface from 30 to 100 feet (9 to 30 meters) in the air. That’s incredible! What’s almost equally as cool is that when an osprey flies with a fish in its talons, it orients it headfirst to reduce wind resistance.

鱼鹰从30到100英尺(9到30米)高的空中潜入水面。那是难以置信的!几乎同样酷的是，当鱼鹰用它的爪子抓着鱼飞行时，它会头朝下以减少风的阻力。

The osprey population in the US was in danger back in the 1950s when their natural habitats were polluted with chemicals. Fortunately, they overcame that challenge and increased their population in some locations.
