Mr. Osprey held on to this fish tail for a long time, trying to lure a mate with it. He eventually gave up and ate it.

A female osprey is trying to lure the male into accepting her as his mate. It didn't work. To get her to leave, the male huddled with his back to her, then he tried jumping on her, then he just went about his business of building the nest and ignored her.
