Hi ya FT!
Thanks! Your support for my Hawks is appreciated!
Totally understand that you’ll have to support NE in the SB :-)
We actually have a lot of ospreys in WA state, too. I’ve seen them flying next to the freeway with nests on top of the large lamp poles.
The Seahawks mascot, Blitz, is a blue bird in a Hawks uniform. They also always have the “real” mascot, Taima, at every game, too - he leads the Seahawks team out of the tunnel

Man I used to sit out on my back deck in Merryland and watch the ospreys. It was glorious.
What they do....they “hover” in the air directly above the water. We lived on a cove and the water was shallow. Lots and lots of glorious carp in the waters below.
The osprey would hover like a helicopter above the cove waters. Once he saw his prey he....WHOOSH! would drop straight down and very fast. Man it was something to see.
He’d go completely under the water than come out of the water with a struggling carp clenched in his talons. ME I’d be rooting for the osprety cause that carp wasn’t too happy about being his dinner.
Yeah, they nest along the poles and on the Chesapeake Bay they love to nest on the buoys and such that dot the bay.
Glorious bird, glorious, glorious.
I lived in the Adams family house in Merryland but man that cove was magnificent.
I even wrote a book about it.
