Eagle kills adult Osprey
Many years ago a Bainbrdige Island member of Kitsap Audubon emailed me that he had witnessed an eagle killing an Osprey in Manzanita Bay. The Osprey had a very large fish in its talons and was struggling to get airborne. The eagle landed on top of the osprey and held it under until it drowned. The eagle then “swam” the Osprey and fish to shore to finish eating them. I don’t remember the name of the observer.
