Goshawk's are EXTREMELY strong raptors. They are in the Accipiter family of Hawks. Along with their smaller relatives the Coopers & Sharp Shinned. Granted the Osprey is larger but it can't outmaneuver the Goshawk. Accipters are very fast and know how too weave in and out of thick forest too capture birds their primary prey. If you bird feed you've most likely seen a Coopers or Sharpie as i like too call them trying too make a meal out of your backyard birds. Particularly in winter when food is scarce. I've been in the avian field now for the better part of 30yrs. Having "hands on" experience with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey. So i've worked with these 3 birds throughout my time in the field. It's tragic if this is the same Osprey family that lost their young too a Common Raven. Raven's are every bit a predator they may lack the talons a Bird of Prey possesses. But they may up for that in sheer beak power alone. And they are twice the size of their smaller Corvid Crow cousins. On average 25in with a 4-4.5ft wingspan weighing in around 2.5lbs. Most Birds of Prey give them a wide birth and don't mess with them and rightfully so. They are as agile in flight as an Hawk or Eagle. Being able too tumble, soar, dive, roll, etc...
The one sibling drags the other one off with it. I’m sure it was just trying to hang on to anything but it looked like, if I’m going down I’m taking you with me. They may have been big enough to survive and go on to make it. They looked almost ready. But I don’t know if that’s the case. Does anyone know the status?
Osprey nets are essentially fast food joints for other raptors, so jokes! The osplets are cheeseburgers. The parents might as well be asking the goshawks and eagles if they want fries with that ospletburger. And the goshawks are like, "No thanks. I'll be back later for another burger though."
That's a ridiculous comment! All it does is make you an idiot. They are simply surviving. Have you ever seen how methodically Osprey fish? Does that make them "psychopaths"?
