Bald Eagles and Ospreys never fly together. The male Osprey is defending his nest from the eagle.

Since Eagles share very much the same lifestyle and habitat as the Osprey, these two are often in conflict. They will raid each other’s nest’s, taking the babies of the other. The Eagle often attacks Ospreys in mid-flight to steal his hard-earned fish, so Ospreys take advantage of every opportunity to harass Eagles in return. Neither wants to share prime fishing areas with the other.
