NWC Seaside Osprey nest, Oregon
12:19 to 12:44 incident from obsboard:
12:19 pm Bruce in with a young surfperch.... Both fly in, ducking from another osprey flying above..... they fly off, then back again. Bruce flies up toward the other bird, and then out after it. (Wow!)
After the fracas with the intruder, Bruce returns to the nest, with the fish, and eats it.... Naha watches out to the north while Bruce eats.
12:26:44+ Bruce (?) lands, mantled.... his behavior toward Naha is very strange, rather alien and aggressive. I am not convinced this is Bruce.....
12:36 pm Bruce/(Intruder?) flies off....
12:43 pm Now this is Bruce, no doubt in my mind. The other was the intruder, as the head markings were different. And Bruce would not have behaved that way toward Naha.... Now I'm sure.
