Due to some trees obstructing my view, I did not see the osprey dive into the water to get this fish. However, I saw an encounter between the osprey and a crow.
The osprey went from catching the fish to one of its favourite perching trees.
Shortly thereafter, a crow came and landed on the same tree very close to the osprey. The osprey then looked in my direction. It looks like the osprey is peeved while the crow is trying to plead for a scrap. I am wondering if the osprey is thinking can you believe this? When I entered this image to identify the crow, Merlin only suggests a fish crow for it.
The crow gave up and flew off to sit on the rocks nearby and the osprey ate probably more than half of the fish.
Then off it flew towards the nest with the leftovers. Here’s hoping it shared with it’s mate. Happy Friday!

Amazing shots Sharon. Always fun to watch Raptors. We watched a crow harryibg a hawk tonight. The hawk got a little too close to the nest. Have a good evening. Allan

Hawks will steal the babies of a lot of other birds. The hawks are flying over the eagle’s nest a lot. The osprey are still egg sitting.

Nice Sharon. Well, you can’t blame a guy/gal for trying. The crow could have been a bit optimistic and maybe another time, got lucky. As the cartoon character from childhood always stated, “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!”

Maybe the osprey left scraps last time. Yes, you can’t blame the crow for trying, and no violence was involved in getting him to leave.
