The Female was incubating most of the day. Male came back in the afternoon. The male then incubated for a while. The female chased a Bald Eagle away from the area. It was quite a display of aerial combat. The Eagle left the area quickly.
First the history:This nest has been active for many years. The nest originally was on a pole without a platform. One year the nest had gotten so big that it caught on fire from the heat of the lights. The fire destroyed the nest and the lights. When they came to replace the lights they put the nest platform on top. The very next year the Ospreys came back and nested again. This has been an active nest site since then.
