Pandion haliaetus
Happy to get these shots from a macro lens. This Osprey was calling two others flying overhead and finally took flight. "Ospreys are brown above and white below, and overall they are whiter than most raptors. From below, the wings are mostly white with a prominent dark patch at the wrists. The head is white with a broad brown stripe through the eye."
