dragon49 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Two birds were flying the same patterns near each other, so I assume they were the same. I was doing my best to capture them in flight and am not sure whether I captured both, or just one. Taken this afternoon in Boynton Beach Florida. Hoping I can get a positive ID, as I think it may be a new "lifer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Guy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Based on wing length and shape they look like Osprey. The first picture really gives off the impression of Osprey. Long pointed wings and you can begin to make out the black and white coloring. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen Ospreys perched, never in flight, but looking at pics of Ospreys in flight makes me confident of the IDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark pattern on the underside of the wings is distinctive to Ospreys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
