Fearless
I went to check on my favorite Osprey family this weekend. The webcam is not working, but there was some head poking and wing flapping going on, so I assume the babies are growing up.
The Grackles are gone, but the new neighbors, Eastern Kingbirds, are even more aggressive then Grackles. Every time the Ospreys were coming or going, the Kingbirds were attacking them, so the Ospreys had to make a few maneuvers near the nest to shake the aggressors off their tails.
