BIRD ATTACK CAUGHT BY THE FAB 5D2!

The mama osprey had vacated her nest and was watching from a perch
high in a tree.
About that time a Great Blue Heron came flying by, a little too close
to the nest and the 3 chicks in it for the mama osprey. So mama
osprey swoops down and nails the big bird right in the back, knocking
his ass into the river. As I saw the feathers flying I thought he was
a goner for sure. But he managed to fly away, even thought he was
missing a good chunk of his backside.

Fortunately, the Fab 5D2 was there to catch all the action.

Love the way the feathers are still in the air

I love the exasperated/bewildered/****ed-off look on the herons face.
