Ultimate Monday Mystery Answered

On Monday I wrote:

Ginny Chucka sent this photo on Saturday afternoon, and I knew immediately that it had to be the next Monday Morning Mystery. (The photo was taken recently in Western N.J.)

See anything unusual?

Here's the answer, via Ginny: "We were fishing along the shoreline of the Clinton Reservoir, and a Blad Eagle flew out (photo below left). Then we saw something swimming. At first we thought it was a beaver or a mink swimming (photo below right). Then the owl flew over our heads with the squirrel and perched in a tree in front of us. We never saw the grab itself."

(Thanks, Ginny! Amazing pix. And congrats to all who saw the squirrel's tail in the owl photo.)
