Two mature eagles took over an Osprey nest from last year and had 2 eglets. The osprey returned early and was quite disturbed over finding his nest had been taken over.
The following are some of the action that took place while I was watching.
The osprey at first dove on the nest when only the eglets were present.
Then mom arrived and he continued to dive on her also.
After a lot of screaming, dad came to the rescue, only to find the osprey was not afraid of any of them.
This went on for 30 minutes before the osprey finally gave up.
I was fortunate to be there and get these shots and many more. It was once in a lifetime for me.
