Birds Osprey challenging a Great blue heron

[Merlinator]

This heron was just flying too close to the osprey nest and the male left his perch to make sure he was no threat

Last month I drove an hour to see a scissor-tailed flycatcher that was nesting beneath an osprey nest. At one point the smaller bird was harassing the osprey. I also got a video when they went at it again later.
