The Osprey just cannot believe this bird,
I could not believe my luck at the clarity here,
(I am happy, don't know about them),
The little bird was driving this guy nuts, he was just
trying to be near the nest with his babies, and the
little fast talking bird kept dive bombing him.

The little one was too fast, and I did not catch it. I
tried, kept my arm up, with the lens, was leaning on something,
but still I would get tired, and these birds wait until you are
totally unprepared to get their photo... And that is the way
it went.

But I got this! I am happy about that. And I think
That bird is thinking very human thoughts. I am
amazed at the sociology involved.

Great capture Ginger:thumb That's either one really brave jay or really stupid:dunno
He's lucky he didn't get ripped apart and fed to the little ones.

That's hilarious, great capture!!!!! I've always wondered about this phenomena, the little birds ganging up and pestering on the big preds... :dunno
Thanks for sharing this one Ginger.

Little birds always seem to hang close to raptors, don't know why maybe for security. :dunno
