MAY be osprey, I rarely catch them in flight.

1. Sure looks like one!

They are so hard to photograph when flying.

3. Sure are!

I HOPE to catch some after (fingers crossed) there are hatchlings, and adults are teaching them (east of this pic, over the creek and nest.)

2. I think you're right! How great is that!! n/t

4. REALLY great!

Nest on other side of my house, eggs (!!!) being incubated, and as winds coming in, hope fishing is possible.

5. It is. They sometimes get clumsy and drop a fish in our yard. n/t

6. REALLY??? I've not seen THAT,

but their goal is to take fish to the nest which is on the other side of my house!

Thanks for the I.D. I usually see a different perspective:

7. I have pictures somewhere at home. I'm on a trip now.

I had one steal a mackerel off the end of my fishing line on the beach after I landed it. Thank goodness the hook pulled out, the bird was welcome to it after its talons were in it.

8. WOW!!!

9. We see them often

in Colorado in their nests feeding their babies in the high nests we put up for them. And once in a while flying.

10. Nice!

There's a nest adjacent to my house, southern MD, made by 'my' old couple many years ago; looking forward to them feeding their babies, and then teaching the kids to fly!
