2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Osprey, Rogue River, Oregon, United States
"It's Mine, You Can't Have It"

Species: Osprey | Location: Rogue River, Oregon, United States

My husband and I went on a Jet Boat Tour of the Rogue River for our 38th anniversary. Although there were a lot of great wildlife sightings that day, the highlight was this Osprey. He was fending off a group of 4-5 Turkey Vultures who wanted to steal his catch! He was watching us very closely to make sure we were not a threat to his meal, either.
