Temper Tantrum

This young Osprey is a character! I first shot him about 5-6 weeks ago in the nest. Lately, he has taken to hanging out in this tree about 80-yards from the nest.  I was here shooting him when an adult began approaching carrying a fish.

The background is that there are a number nests and nesting pairs in a very small area here. Anyway, he was sitting peacefully in the tree waiting for his parents to come and feed him when this other adult flew past.

He went berserk! He flapped and hopped around and called and squawked and just made a ruckus. All because he got passed up and someone else got the fish!

This is part of a sixteen-shot series of the encounter.
