it isn't a red tail hawk. It has been confirmed that it is a two-year old male osprey that is probably nesting for the first time and is looking for a mate. Sorry, to disappoint those that will swear on a stack of fake news gossip that it is a red tail but there are two distinguishing characteristics that confirm him from a couple of long-term experts that do this for a living.
Besides, I know an osprey when I see one or I would not have troubled a couple of professors that love this bird as much I have come to appreciate if I hadn't seen the two distinguishing characteristics.
Oh, since it is our blog, and we announced that this blog wasn't turning into a bird blog, we can still post bird pictures of interest, don't you know?

| A new sandbar has emerged from the island all the way across Sunset Bay to the area left of the dock. That's a sandpiper in the center confirmed by yet another birder. It didn't get out of the mid 40s today with a 24MPH NW wind. C-O-L-D!!! |
