The Great Egret had the bad misfortune to make its nest in the grass about 30 feet under the Osprey’s nest, which contained several baby ospreys. The large Osprey came dive bombing against the Egret several times, but each time the Egret ducked its head back into the grassy nest and eluded the swooping Osprey.
