Looks like we found a headless bird!
Not really. What we did find is a fisher bird. An Osprey that we saw a few days ago.
Ospreys eat fish. They fly above the water, then swoop down and grab the fish with their big claws. It is great fun to watch, especially when they catch a big fish.
"They were fishing, throwing their nets into the lake. It was
their regular work. Jesus said to them, “Come with me. I’ll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I’ll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass.” They didn’t ask questions, but simply
dropped their nets and followed."
Matthew 4

Wow, these are fabulous. That's an impressive looking bird. That would be amazing seeing it catching a fish.
we have many osprey here, there are 3 large nests on the lightpoles at the park where bob flies his planes, and many others all over the city. Florida has water everywhere, they thrive here. it is amazing to watch them fish. I once watched the dad fly in with a fish and hand it off to the mom and she stripped off pieces of fish and fed to the babies. talk about amazing
You got some great pictures of the osprey.
Fantastic photos! We had ospreys nesting in the bayou behind Gulf Coast Research Lab where I worked. They returned every year. Since Katrina, then retirement lost track of them. They and their babies were fascinating.
I loved these photos of your osprey Ginny, brilliant shots!
Great shots Ginny. These are beautiful birds to watch as they soar in the sky.
Wow, great photos Ginny.
Gorgeous photos. I see very few birds now with my limited vision.
Oh wow....he is a biggie. At first glimpse, I thought...."Oh this bird doesn't have a head" Eeek.. Once again, you never fail in bringing us the most interesting headers.
You lucky, lucky girl! I would love to be where I saw ospreys regularly.
Looks like a miniature eagle.. nice shots.. at least it didn't fly away when you took the photos, Ginny!
What a gorgeous Osprey!
I have seen them catch fish on TV. It's quite impressive. Great fun to watch indeed!
