Survival of the Fittest
Recently, I noticed a dead osprey face down, wings outstretched on a neighbor's lawn. I suspected it had fallen from the sky because it wasn't huddled into a ball, but spread wide. I don't think anyone saw what happened. After a few days, I wondered if it was one of "our" ospreys, since lately I only saw the juvenile and one adult. Given the fact that earlier there was a private war going on involving "our" osprey, I suspect the bird could have been attacked. We will never know.
Osprey family in July. The juvenile is the little speckled bird in the middle.
Since then, I photographed the juvenile defending their food from an adult bird by holding it down with a claw (not very successfully).
The juveniles can be identified easily by their orange-yellow eyes, while the adults have yellow eyes.
