Osprey's are large and should hang out in your area

Well thanks! I'm watching for him now. He's being elusive.

I have the occasional Osprey.
Are you close to a river? I'm only three miles from the Missouri so they wonder over every once in a while

Great pics!
I never seem to have a camera handy when I see wildlife (or I just stare at it like I'm mental while holding the camera, forgetting till the thing leaves that I would later like to have a picture of it!)

Osprey and bald eagle are both fish hunters...think that could be a young bald eagle(before they get the white feathers)

it takes a lot of training and a special person to pick up on subtle cues to work with them. They are very smart, and very sensitive, and most of all, wild. Always. For those certain people who are good at picking up on what they are communicating with you, they can be easy to work with, but for others, well, lets just say I would not allow the average person in the enclosures with me.

I understand.​

Well, I've seen it from the front. And it has a completely white stomach. That's how I spot it so easily in the trees. I look for the huge white chest. I watched for it all day and it didn't come back.
