 Osprey. I spotted him perched in the top of a dead pine tree, eating something when I was pulling out of the local bank parking lot. I pulled off the road and waited for him to finish his snack.

I think they like to play 'let's kill the squeaky thing' :- )

I'm amazed at the amount of wildlife you have to choose from Waddy.

p.s. great wing shape.

Nice action shot, Waddy. At first glance I thought he had a little snake in his beak but it's a small branch behind him.
