Osprey

Today Michael and I had to make a little trip to Corpus. As always, I took the camera but honestly it was so darn hot that I didn't stop anywhere...that is until we were coming through Bayside and I spotted this guy sitting on the electric wires...It's been awhile since I've seen an Osprey sitting there but it's where I usually see them when I do...I kept on driving and then I thought aww heck...I whipped the truck around and went back for some photos!! Michael was playing with his vtech and was otherwise occupied so he was okay with me taking a few minutes to try for a decent photo...YEA!!

I didn't want to frighten this big guy away so I carefully inched as close as I could...and these were the best photos out of the bunch...Not the greatest but still pretty cool...

Look at how HUGE his legs are and the talons...definitely a fisherman! And the hooked beak, Yikes!! Now if I was a fish I'd be quivering...

Uh Oh I've been spotted, lol...love how the wind caught his head feathers and ruffled them!!

He was beautiful and he was glaring at me...find your own fishing hole! I backed off before I thought he might fly...I didn't want to disturb him and his fishing!
