I thought a recent trip to the Roosevelt Wetlands by work was going to be disappointing. I stopped by after work and there wasn't much there. As the sun was going down and I had decided to leave, I heard an osprey making a lot of noise. He was flying across the lake with a small fish in his talons. I then realized that 2 blackbirds were chasing him. It amazes me that these smaller birds are brave enough to go after the osprey to get that little fish. They chased him for about a minute and then gave up. The osprey finally landed on a nearby dead tree and ate his little fish quickly. I noticed later that I managed to get a faint full moon in the top of the 3rd picture.

I suppose the blackbirds knew the osprey wouldn't waste his fish on coming after them. risk takers, for sure!
ReplyDeleteTerrific! I really like that last one ... the osprey with its wings outstretched and talons down preparing for landing. Hope your hubby is feeling better.
