A visiting/intruder male osprey made a lengthy stay on the nest, accepted by mom, and initially tolerated by dad. In this video, he is on the far left at the beginning, then flies off and returns on the right. Mom started fish calling as she saw dad (off-nest) with a fish.
Dad brought in a fish, and was giving the soft peeps he does when all is well. He released hold of the fish, and it looked for a moment like the visitor might take it, but dad seemed to think better of it, reacquired the fish and flew off. The visitor followed. (A short time later, both mom and dad warned the visitor off when he returned.)
