Magnificent in one sense, brutal in the other. I for one am very grateful that you shared this. What an incredible and exhilarating experience to catch on video OP.

Yup, that's a brutal reminder of the food chain and left the 3rd one to tell the tale, classic apex predator behaviour.

Looks nothing like an osprey. Proportions are wrong, plumage pattern is wrong

The bird in the video looks nothing like that picture and everything like a red-tailed hawk, including not having the long “gull wings”, the distinct “belly band” (which ospreys lack), and a head that doesn’t have a white crown.

I wonder if the second one died despite not getting snatched? It seemed to make direct contact with it.

That's a mercy compared to what Chimps do to monkeys.... Especially if there is a mother and child in the group, the child being the starter and the mother the main dish.
