I have seen them quite successfully doing it off Point Pleasant Park, Halifax NW Arm, Cole Hbr saltmarsh and many other places along the coast. I also observed eagles and ospreys together. Often the successful osprey had to surrender his prey to the eagle. Not sure if those particular eagles specialized into making this kind of living (btw. also gulls harass osprey quite often with success). How close both species will nest to each other I don't know, also I don't know if one will clean out eggs and or chicks from the other species nest. It wouldn't surprise me if eagles would do this on occasion. In the Cole Hbr saltmarsh nests of both species are not in close vicinity to each other. Speaking about the eagles in Cole Hbr saltmarsh. The two youngsters in the nest just before the third bridge are almost the same size as their parents now, with one being a bit larger than the other. Both were stretching wings yesterday, but stayed firm on solid ground. Both parents were out of sight for most of the time, just dropping by to deliver snacks. Fish as far as I was able to tell, but some upset in the gull population left me with the conclusion that they at least tried to offer a more balanced diet. Ulli On 14-Jun-10, at 11:32 AM, V.
