Question Answered

A few days back I posted some photos of Ospreys fighting (see attached). I wasn’t sure whether this was a mock fight or an actual confrontation as I had never seen a third Osprey in the area. Today my question was answered as the intruder buzzed the nest as the nesting pair were present. Needless to say they were not happy. There was another chase which I was not able to capture (boy these birds are fast). I was able to snap a few of the uninvited guest over the nest. I suspect that this situation is not settled and there will be more opportunities for photos. I certainly hope so.
Thanks,
Doug

Great shot ! I have seen this before and my take is the intruder is a yearling juvie from this nest from last year looking for something to eat ......

You know, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how long he’ll stay around and harass his parents. Thanks for the feedback.

Usually, the juvie gets the message and does not persist !
