Wonderful Capture of an ongoing confrontation where ever these two cross paths.
Down here in South Florida It's a give that any time a Bald Eagle spots an Osprey with a fish there will be an attempted high-jacking of the meal in question.
Was told by a naturalist in Alaska the the Eagles much prefer stealing their meals than hunting on there own.
Even when the attempted theft is from their own kind.
So this looks like PAYBACK !!!

Thanks very much everyone. I was thrilled to be able to capture this. You are right Jack, these two do not like one another. I usually see this much too far away. Bob, this was in Florida! #10519506
