Description
"Eagle Ambush" by Loree Johnson Photography. In the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, where the Wind River meets the Columbia, there are many osprey nests. Here, the bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) wait patiently, high in the trees, for the ospreys. When they spot an osprey coming back to its nest with a fish, they swoop in and attempt to steal it. At one point, I saw as many as eight osprey and five bald eagles in the immediate area.
