Other Activity: When i arrived one Osprey was on the nest. Eventually, the second Osprey (the male) returned to the area and landed on the pole to the right. There was a juvenile eagle flying over near the river, who eventually flew in closer, did a couple laps around the area, and flew very close to the nest. The male Osprey had flown over to the nest and was standing on the edge, made a couple calls, but never spread his wings or got really vocal. Eventually the eagle left the area, the male left and returned 15 or so minutes later with a fish. He ate the fish, brought some back to the female in the nest, and she flew to the pole to the left to eat.
Observation Method: Sitting on the bleachers
