One of the siblings is chasing the Osprey that nests very close to their hunting ground. Red-winged Blackbirds do the same all the time but the Osprey seems to ignore them.

Cool inter-species action. This pic really shows the size difference well.
I would desaturate the blue in the sky a bit.

Thanks, Gail. I reduced the saturation of the blue and replaced the original with it.

Ditto - interesting interaction - you're fortunate to have these magnificent birds so close by.

Big and small. Nice behavior. Agree with blue sat suggestions. This is the second Osprey and Kingbird interaction image I have seen in 2 days.
