Wakodahatchee - Bald eagle chasing osprey for fish
Nothing 'rare' to report - but it was cool for me, as in PB county we don't see that many eagles...and in particular, very rarely at Wakodahatchee. Ospreys are very common there, and I like to photograph them fishing...Saturday, I heard an osprey calling out bloody murder somewhere behind and over me, so I turned to see why he was calling in such a panic - I saw a larger bird chasing him...turned out to be a bald eagle hot on his tail. The eagle followed the osprey all the way over the park and off to the west out of sight - I actually didn't see why the eagle was chasing the osprey until I reviewed the photos back home and zoomed in to see the osprey was holding a half-eaten fish in his talons.
I thought it was a pretty cool thing to see - so thought I'd share it. I also included one more closer shot of the eagle.

Justin! These are wonderful! You should enter them.
Could we share these on social media w/ credit to you? Were you just watching or were you counting birds as well this weekend?
Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely you may share them with credit. Thank you.
I wasn't doing an official bird count - just out for my weekend bird photography rounds. I usually go birding at the local Palm Beach county parks each weekend unless I'm out of town - Wakodahatchee, Green Cay, Arthur Marshall, Peaceful Waters, etc.
Wonderful. Thanks for being generous with your work. We'll use this photo this week and certainly look forward to more. Justin, if you're on social media, TAS would love to follow, let me know!
