12/5/2023 0 Comments Eagles hunting sOspreys are exclusively fish-eaters and often fall victims on kleptoparasitism by Bald Eagles, an action-filled drama that plays out by one or more Eagles falling in hot pursuit of an Osprey after securing a fresh catch, harassing the smaller Osprey until it lets go of its prey for the Eagle(s) to relent and instead dive for the stolen food.Īlthough superficially similar, Ospreys are in most instances readily distinguished from Bald Eagles by their bright white underside (except tail and flight feathers) and all-dark upperside. The next most common source of confusion is the Osprey, which like the Bald Eagle is also closely tied to estuaries and lakes and therefore often found nesting side by side with Bald Eagles.
