Fantastic pics! You got that sucker cold! What is that wrapped around its left leg/talon? Almost looks like a wire.Curt63 - 7-12-2009 at 10:02 PM
Great pics...caught in the actDianaT - 7-12-2009 at 10:17 PM
THANKS to both of you.
Russ, that is a small piece of rope behind him, but I am not sure what is wrapped around his leg. It did not seem to bother him flying---sure hope it
is not wire.
I notice that you also use Photobucket for photo hosting---have you tried any other sites? It seems like the picture breaks down when using
photobucket.
Hope no REAL weather heads up your way---little rain is good, chubasco---NO

Osprey never looked bettershari - 7-13-2009 at 08:19 AM
This is my favorite local bird here....he/she is always on that particular fence branch and is so accustomed to us passing close by he doesnt even fly
away anymore. We should give him a name.
I will check to see if he still has the rope on his ankle..hope not...saw him yesterday dining on a nice fish on his branch.
Love pic #2 with our sunset casita in the background!DianaT - 7-13-2009 at 08:33 AM

No, maybe someone else will.
Appreciate the comments, thanks for looking.
And yes, the bird is always on that post---except, when I remember to take my camera in the truck, he/she would not be home. But every time I don't
have my camera---there he/she is---smiling at me.
OK, for this aguila pescadora, I vote for naming him Diver---
1. That is how he earns his dinner
2. He is watching over Diverlandia wondering just when the owner might return.
3. He may claim squatter's rights over Diverlandia.

that's perfect Dianne!!! Diver it is then...
Are these pics from photobucket? they sure look fantastic to me...are they the large format catagory when putting them into an album?bajajudy - 7-13-2009 at 08:59 AM
Beautiful!
I love their call. It is so distinctive that you dont even have to see them. You know that they are there somewhere. We see a lot of them down by
the estuary talking to each other about breakfast every morning.David K - 7-13-2009 at 09:10 AM
While driving on Shell Island last September, Elizabeth managed to get photos of this guy flying along us with his catch... as we were both moving the
photos aren't very clear.

Those are fantastic photos Diane. You have a great eye.
"Diver" obviously got out of the situation that put the rope around it's leg in the first place, lets hope it doesn't pose any problems in the future.
Thanks again for the photos.

Speaking of eyes---I think those are my very favorite part of ospreys and other birds of prey---those sharp, piercing eyes.
While I love to watch them carry things for their nests, I hate to see anything around a leg, and I hope Diver was able to get rid of it.
I also hope I am not in real trouble with the other Diver.
Judy, do you think they are complaining about eating the same food over and over again! I too love the sound of birds, even the ravens that keep
eating our tomates.

jdtrotter, Thanks for the pictures. Fish hawks are special.Russ - 7-13-2009 at 12:28 PM
Sorry but I like Oscar
Maybe he/she was injured and taken care of at some time and left before the leash could be removed? Maybe be the reason he's/she's not as spooky as
normal.

Magnificent Diane!!Sharksbaja - 7-13-2009 at 01:04 PM
Sweet! Very nice! That rope does look suspiciously tied to the ankle. I worry the bird will get that wrapped around something.Diver - 7-13-2009 at 03:28 PM
I am only jealous that "Diver" the bird gets to spend more time in Diverlandia than I do.
But the name fits !!
Great pictures, Diane !!fishbuck - 7-13-2009 at 04:00 PM
Rumor is that Jamie is teaching these Ospreys to spot people without biosphere bands. He pays them in fish.DianaT - 7-13-2009 at 04:00 PM

Glad you approve of the name.
Cypress, yes the fish hawks are special--Sharks, and Ken, thanks glad you enjoyed the pix and we really do hope that there is nothing wrong and
Diver Bird will live a long happy life eating sushi.

Diver is really enjoying all the boca dulce in the cove right now. Looks like he lost the string on his foot...good news. We were right beside him and
he didnt bat an eye...just kept on munchin.
wish I had a decent camera like you Dianne.
seems he likes posing!! DianaT - 7-13-2009 at 06:10 PM
Good capture, Shari!
Great news that Diver Bird has lost that string and is eating well. Tell him we will see him soon.
