I have seen Immature and Adult Bald Eagles chase Ospreys
but May 22, 2015 I saw 3 Ospreys flying over an Eagle nest that had failed.
On this day both Eagles were on the nest.    An Osprey swooped down at the nest
The Female Eagle spread her wings over the nest, while the Male stayed on the edge.
The Ospreys flew away.  Both Eagles stayed on the nest for about 25 minutes.   The Female
then flew off and a few minutes later flew back under the nest over the lake.       The Male stayed
 on the nest for another half hour and was still there when I left.

Is this late for Ospreys to be taking over a nest?
