A very halcyon, cloudy day at this osprey nest but suddenly this rogue female osprey begins an assault on the male of the osprey pair tending the one remaining osprey chick in the nest. I had been watching the nest for hours and was curious why there was only one chick as there are normally 2 or 3 ?????
Great set of images!!!!Vic

Great action set. In the 4th photo I see 2 young ones. Don't know why one is attacking. In a nest at a NP not to far from where I live, The kids are flying already for a while & I only see one hanging at the nest mostly. A lot of the times they are in a nearby tree. I think the parents are a making them a little less dependent every day. In the one photo she is bringing new nest materials to freshin up the nest. Could be she is wanting , or trying to force them to start flying more. In the other photos I only see one kid in the nest. Another thing is , these osprey chicks grow pretty fast.

Wonderful series. Must have been fascinating to watch. I would love to hear an ornithologist perspective on this.

Wow! That must have been something to watch! I didn't realize they would do that. I glad you remember in the moment to take these excellent shots to document the action.
