Biggest one I've ever seen!

Just to give you an idea how big he is, the light post he's standing on is 6"X6".

I thought it was an immature wild turkey until I got close.

Wings!

Just kidding, they are beautiful birds and I enjoy watching them when we can. Always take a moment to enjoy what nature is displaying. You never know when you will no longer get to see them.

Nice.

Man just look at that hooked beak and those talons. Chihuahua's beware!

Def an osprey

Osprey

In the 90's I lived in Valkaria and did a morning bike ride everyday. There was an Osprey nest down the street and I got very good at mimicking their voice and would stop and have long back and forth conversations with them.
I swear they actually thought I was speaking Osprey.
I also had 2 stocked ponds on my property and they would sometimes "dine" at my restaurant as did some of the biggest bald eagles I ever saw

As much as I appreciated that property and having my personal gun range (up to 200 yards) the best part was getting so close to so many different wildlife

I get a visit of the local wild life every morning here in da' hood in Mosquito County.

Once a Sprawlmart moves in, they supply the best shopping carts to the wildlife around here.

10,000 comedians out of work and here you are.
