terrific pictures. I actually saw an osprey (with a nest) harass both a GBH and an egret a number of weeks ago on the south side of Chicago. Sort of arbitrarily harass them; they were just standing around the fish lake minding their own herony fishing businesses. The GBH, when chased, pulled out all the stops and flew with its neck out (they don't), barking like a dog.
