A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Pandion haliaetus
A large eagle-like bird with brown feathers on his back and white on the front. He has a large hooked bill. A stripe of brown goes around his eyes like a mask and down onto his back.
Frequently found near the water in high nests in Florida.
This osprey was perched on a dead tree near Lemon Bay in Englewood, Florida at sunset and seemed very unphased by people walking near him.

Christy, all done! :)
Nice series! I'd love you to add this and any other spottings that apply, to the mission Raptors of North America: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
