Predator and Prey

Caught this fish yesterday on SBR. If you look closely, you'll see some additional talon-scratches, beside the obvious wound--hopefully, healing. Osprey or bald eagle?
Co-incidentally, a couple of months ago, I watched a bald eagle flying low over the SBR before it swooped up to land on a thick branch over the water--with a big trout swinging from one taloned foot. That eagle landed--lost its grip--and the trout plummeted back into the river, sending up a geyser-like splash. The eagle hung out for a while on the branch, looking down, before flying off. We've all known that feelingl, eh?
