Osprey being pestered by Mudlarks.

I was at the marina & this osprey was being annoyed by a couple of mudlarks (more commonly called Peewees around here). Peewees can be quite fiesty at times, but they don't actually make contact--it's all bluff.

I like your first one especially.

Great shots. I feel sorry for the osprey. You get pestered long enough by a couple two, three and it sure does get under your feathers.

They are really putting on a show, and reminds me of our little King Birds which will buzz anything that comes even close to their territory!
