Iroquois - This is a real shot, not a manipulated photo. An Osprey was heading to its nest while an eagle was doing the same. The two nests are only 100 metres apart. These species do not get along and the Osprey is usually the aggressor even though it is smaller. The eagle made a defensive move, doing a barrel roll as the Osprey passed overhead then continued the manoeuvre, uprighting itself. It was over in seconds. There was no interaction between the two but I caught a few frames of this one of a kind moment.
