Do **t mess with America's national bird.
An osprey cam from Explore.org (http://mashable.com/category/explore.org/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) captured a rare and intense bald eagle attack on Monday.
The footage shows three osprey chicks sitting in their nest on Hog Island, Maine, while both of their parents are away. Suddenly, a bald eagle can be seen swooping into view with an adult osprey in tow.*
