Hello, happy Monday everyone!
I am sharing the Osprey, it is also known as the Fish Eagle. It can be found along lakes, bays and rivers. They hover over the water and plunge down to grasp their fish. They are seen in Maryland during the summer season. I saw many Osprey while in Florida where they are considered residents.

Estupendas imágenes...un saludo desde Murcia....
Fabulous images Eileen
We have them EVERYWHERE! In fact, last week I spotted one on a nest on a light pole in the Burlington store parking lot! Right in the middle of a strip mall! Yet, out in a preserved area called Pleasure House Point, they put up a pole and a few sticks to entice some to nest and NOTHING! It was ignored. They do NEST there, just didn't like that spot! Hugs!
My compliments for the magnificent Osprey!
I have posted a small thing of mine, as well, according to your kind invitation to join.
Thanks for hosting.

Wonderful photos of the osprey, Eileen! I know they build big twiggy nests and are hard to see when nesting.
Have a good week!

Good morning Eileen! This is one proud and mighty bird of prey! Look out little critters, he may be quite hungry! I hope you have sunshine, while I have a day off today, it's of course raining. Oh well.

Wonderful captures!
Such good pictures and the post reminds me that I've meant to find out what happened to the ones we used to see often here in Oregon, but have not for the past few years. Of course we see them a lot in Florida as you know.
