CNN — An incident involving a bird gave new meaning to the term 'fish fry' after an electric company suspected an osprey of dropping its meal onto power lines – triggering an outage in a New Jersey neighborhood. A fish that fell from a bird's grip landed on a transponder in Sayreville, located just southwest of New York's Staten Island, according to Jersey Central Power and Light Company spokesperson Chris Hoenig. 'Animal contact is a common cause of power outages; however, fish are not on the list of frequent offenders,' Hoenig told CNN in an email.
