Osprey in Flight

Yes, Kurt. They were all the same.

I didn't have the best vantage point because they were just North of me moving from West to East at the edge of the bay - where the land meets the water. However, I did get a break when a few decided to dive and I captured the closeup photo.

I did a little research and there was no mention of Flock sizes? Mating rituals? etc.. If I find anything out, I'll surely be back with the info.

Here is another picture - zoomed in.

I had a bald eagle swoop right down in front of me on 98 at the Phillip's Inlet Bridge. It was after some roadkill on the side of the road. That thing was gigantic!

Great article and another reminder that sowal is a very special place.
