I forgot to mention in my last post that at Mud Lock my companions and I
witnessed an osprey harassing the heck out of a bald eagle for about 3-5
minutes. It was quite a spectacle with the osprey being sure to "attack"
from the top side of the eagle. At one point the eagle half turned its
body over (much like a Canada goose can do as it slows down while coming
in for a landing) to attack back. I had no idea the big bird could be so
agile. Seeing the two raptors so close together was very instructive
with respect to ascertaining the relative size difference between the two.
