If this osprey looks a bit angry, it's because it was. It came in to rescue its two fledglings that had been left on a low branch feeding on a couple a fish. When one of them dropped its fish, a number of black vultures showed up to feed on the lost meal. The young ospreys soon called for their parents and these showed up quickly. It never seemed as if the young birds were in real danger, but it did not matter. The ospreys were aggressive and even knocked a couple of vultures off their perches on the same tree. It was fascinating to watch. (I even stopped photographing to enjoy the experience better.)

Thanks for your views, faves and comments.
