Watch: College Baseball Game Delayed as Bald Eagle and Osprey Battle over Prey

https://www.westernjournal.com/wc/watch-college-baseball-game-delayed-bald-eagle-osprey-battle-prey/

Jacksonville Baseball
‏ @JUBaseball

FISH DELAY | An Osprey just flew over John Sessions with a fish in his claws, but was threatened by a pursuing bald eagle, causing the osprey to drop the fish behind second base (Error).

The fish was recovered by a Dolphin and removed from the field.

Can't make this up folks.

Opinion - The Eagles of Reelfoot Lake

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/opinion/the-eagles-of-reelfoot-lake.html




If you don't have access to The New York Times, here's a quote!

"At this very minute, all across the web, hundreds of thousands of people are watching wildlife cameras trained on eagles' nests. Since 2007, a pair of bald eagles in Decorah, Iowa, has reliably produced three eggs a year and raised their eaglets under the watchful eyes of anyone with a modem -- more than 370 million viewers so far. When tragedy struck last year -- the male disappeared without a trace, leaving the female to raise their chicks alone -- the Raptor Resource Project, which maintains the camera, held a Facebook memorial service for the beloved bird. (The female has taken a new mate this year and is laying eggs again.)"
