I was surprised that the pair of eagles that I saw involved in the osprey chick stealing were still hanging around at the end of my walk, after all the trouble the mother osprey had been giving the pair.

Love the “double shoulder check”!:)
Thanks! They were such fun to watch; though I’m glad I missed whatever feasting they might have been doing on the osprey chick.
