OP
They fly lower than a bird of bird prey I guess. I guess they are looking for fish.

Past years I've caught some near creek, but foliage hinders me now.

We had one who lived nearby our cottage. Great photo.

Guessing Mother Nature called Osprey to travel.

I'm thinking of heading north!
Have you seen the Farmer's Almanac forecast?
Someone posted it a while ago on DU. Yikes!
Although, I must say, other than infrastructure failures like water main breaks, I prefer winter to this miserably hot, humid climate.
elleng
(130,773 posts)11. Yes, saw that.
I don't do miserable heat well, so happy here, in between.

Still nearly 90 here every day, but finally cooling off at night.
