Saturday, Sept. 15, 2007: A brief visit to the South Shore WMA in
Greenup County provided a slow motion-like view of a raptor chase. An
osprey flew over first carrying a fish. While watching the osprey, a
second large bird came into view out of the corner of my eye. An adult
bald eagle was slowly trailing the osprey. A couple hundred yards
beyond the WMA boundary, the eagle caught up with the osprey and
proceeded to harass the osprey but it did not drop the fish. A harrier
was present on the WMA hunting low over the fields.
