Fort Smallwood Park Hawkwatch

Watched an adult Bald Eagle assault an Osprey,
making it drop its fish.  The Osprey, seemingly
annoyed, then went toe to toe with the Eagle for
a few minutes with a crow also getting into the fray.
Forgot to say yesterday that we saw a Red-shouldered
Hawk, presumably molting, with half of its tail half the
length of the other side.
