Nice Morris. I have seen that behavior before. I wonder why they always eat the head before sharing. Do you think it is the best part or that they are saving the best part for their mate?
Phil
Thank you Phil,
I think it's simply the easiest part to get to as they hold the fish in it's talons

There seems to be a few different theories on that. The head being the best part is one of them but it's not clear if that's accurate. The one that makes the most sense to me is eating the head is the quickest way to kill the fish. This prevents the fish from thrashing around in the nest and harming the chicks.
Nice shots morris !

Thank you Garry

Nice work on these, Morris. I've heard that brains and scrambled eggs are savored by some.
Thank you Vic,
Never tried it

Excellent sequence of images, Morris! Is that common that the female does not consume the meal that the partner brought back right there in the nest?
Joshua
Thank you Joshua,
This is a very strange pare. The male is a klutz and the female much older. This is there third year together and have failed to raise any chicks the past two years. We are hoping they do better this year. I've seen them share in the nest, I suspect they were not getting along well this day.

Great set, Morris. I have observed all the behavior you mentioned in the story as I do a fair amount of osprey photography myself. Great story and images.
