Caught a fishing bird near sunset, NOT an osprey, tho.

1. Great blue heron, maybe?

3. Could be; haven't seen any of them up close here, yet.

2. Looks like a blue heron to me.

4. You guys are GREAT, identifying them!

Past years I've caught some near creek, but foliage hinders me now.

14. They fly lower than a bird of bird prey I guess. I guess they are looking for fish.

We had one who lived nearby our cottage. Great photo.

15. Yes they're looking for fish; saw one dive, but no way I could get the shot.

7. Yw, Ellen!

Ty for sharing!

Guessing Mother Nature called Osprey to travel.

8. Yes, but/and I saw a pic of one still in MAINE today!

I'm thinking of heading north!

9. Nice!

Have you seen the Farmer's Almanac forecast?



Someone posted it a while ago on DU. Yikes!

Although, I must say, other than infrastructure failures like water main breaks, I prefer winter to this miserably hot, humid climate.

[elleng]

11. Yes, saw that.

I don't do miserable heat well, so happy here, in between.

12. Sounds like a great place to be!

Still nearly 90 here every day, but finally cooling off at night.

10. Forecast, if interested
