When I lived in Maine, I once saw an osprey dive and come up with a fish. Immediately an eagle was on it, trying to get it to drop the fish. Watched through binoculars for a few minutes until the eagle gave up. Apparently, they're pretty lazy.

Do you go over to Anahuac? We spent most of a week last December on the TX Gulf Coast, starting there and going South. Birding was the sole purpose of the vacation.
