Pandion haliaetus

The state bird of Florida is the Northern Mockingbird but I really think it should be the Osprey. Since we have been in Florida we must have seen more than 100 of them and it seems like they are every place you go in the state. Here is a shot of one from this morning (and boy did we have a good time photographing them) with a half-eaten bluegill. An added bonus for the day was a Western Reef Heron. Florida is definitely a great place for bird photography.
