Third morning, July 8. I was out for quite a while before spotting an osprey. Then finally this one flew by, sun behind, of course.
oops!
He came too close! and then flew off.
Golden Eagle
Suddenly there is a huge bird chasing . . .
That is some huge bird!
Bald Eagle
Golden Eagle
Another osprey with a fish arrives.
Bald Eagle
Large bird tries to catch it in flight.
Turns out the inept thief is what I first thought was a young Bald Eagle, but now I see that it's a Golden Eagle. [and now I am back to thinking it's a young Bald Eagle]
Mom osprey on the attack
Eagle--maybe the one that tries to steal fish from the Osprey
The osprey has a nest nearby and is very protective--tries to lure it away.
The Osprey from the nearby nest hears the Eagle call and dive-bombs him to drive him away. Flathead Lake, Montana.
