While observing the courting common mergansers on Lake Lamoille Sunday afternoon, my wife and I noticed an osprey diving near one end of the lake. Instead of going for a fish, he went for an immature bald eagle perched in a white pine along the shore. The attacks continued for a good ten minutes before the eagle adjourned to a birch on the far bank of the lake. Nice to see both species frequenting Morrisville's waters!
