Osprey

 

Eagles and ospreys frequent similar habitats and sometimes battle for food. Eagles often force osprey to drop fish that they have caught and steal them in midair.  Ospreys are superb fishers and indeed eat little else. Fish make up some 99 percent of their diet. Osprey eggs don’t hatch all at once, but are staggered in time so that some siblings are older and more dominant.
