A week after the male osprey arrived the female showed up. They’re together again for another breeding season. While waiting for her to arrive he kept busy doing guy stuff. Click on the galleries to enlarge the pictures.
Apparently, an incident was witnessed by several coworkers between an eagle and the osprey. On Monday, one of the eagles showed up and began circling the nest. The male osprey took off and began to circle up to the eagle. When the osprey reached the eagle he began diving on it. After multiple diving runs the eagle began turn belly up to give the osprey its talons. The aerial combat went on until the eagle moved off.
Incidentally, I discovered this on the neighboring property. You have to click on the gallery to see the bald eagle on the nest.
Lots of drama! I spotted our neighborhood eagle the other day after not seeing it for awhile.

You gotta defend the home front, don’t you. Those eagles can be pretty rascally.

It’s always wonderful to get those osprey reports… may they continue to find solace there – they watch over you as you and your family and neighbors watch over them!
