Eagle vs. Osprey at CF
Mike Flom writes:
Apparently the eagle wasn't keen on the Osprey fishing in his territory, and attacked him at the Osprey's 10:30 AM breakfast search at the Celery Farm on Tuesday.
After about 6 pokes, the Osprey flew higher and then started attacking the much larger eagle below.
After 8 rounds it was a draw – I had to leave for an appointment so can't tell you the final outcome. Sorry I didn't have a bigger lens!
Mike wonders if the bird is a young Bald Eagle or young Golden Eagle. What do you think? (Thanks, Mike!)
