A repost for those who haven't seen it.

@Gitzo, the young eagles seem to be lazy here and would rather steal and Ospreys fish than fish for themselves There were a pair of the eagles(I think almost adult) that were hanging out in a tree and every time an Osprey flew by with a fish the Eagles would take flight and try to make the Ospreys drop their fish. The Ospreys were resilient and somehow outmaneuvered the and kept their fish...

Thanks to everyone else for your comments!

Looks just as good the second time around, Pierre.

@ Coastalconn......are those juvi eagles "baldies" ? From what I've read, that's standard operating procedure for bald eagles; they are much bigger than the ospreys, so they just try to let the little guys do the work, then try to take it away from them; they also do it with other bald eagles, BTW. we have quite a few bald eagles that nest around small lakes near here, and I occasionally see one fly over the neighbor's pasture, but I don't think there are any ospreys around here though; ( western Indiana, near the Wabash River.)

That was a great shot getting the eagle and the osprey in the same picture; it's perfect as an "identification" shot, as it shows the eagle's wings and tail at just the perfect angle, and also clearly shows the difference between the two species.

This one is for Aviachar. As you can see, I'm standing not far from where you were in your shot of Ollantaytambo.

The Ospreys were too cold to dive this morning. The Juvi eagle was there again but just soaring way up. I resorted to the ol trusty Chickadee. On a side note I was struggling with AF fine tune, but I think I might finally be there...
