Couldn't resist sending this one. My husband is a retired Naval aviator and only has a lukewarm interest in birds. although he has learned quite a bit about them. One day at our cabin, just north of Kingston, our daughter and the two of us witnessed something a few years ago we had never seen before or since. An osprey was chasing an eagle that had just stolen the osprey's fish. As the osprey was getting very close, the eagle did a 360 degree roll, which completely put off the osprey who then gave up the chase, the eagle landed in a tree and had his/her meal. Now my husband tells everyone about this big eagle that does stunt-flying so successfully after stealing his next meal.
