Not so noble a bird.

There is a great commotion in sky above us. An osprey has his beautiful catch and a Bald Eagle is trying to take it a way.  The Osprey circles and climbs chirping wildly all the time.  The Eagle with its powerful wingbeats makes a straightline approach and swoops at the Osprey.  They climb nearly out of sight then drop into a steep spiraling decent.  The Osprey pulls up and away but can’t hang onto his fish.  The Eagle pulls off pursuit and nabs the fish in mid air.  He can’t hang onto it either.  Both end up empty “handed”.
