I Was Wrong!

[SCraig]

It appears that I was wrong. I would have sworn otherwise but it does appear that there is at least one Osprey in the Middle Tennessee area

There was one.

ETA: A mathematician, an philosopher, and an engineer are riding a train through scotland. They spy a black sheep on a hillside. The engineer remarks "Ha! The sheep in scotland are black!". The philosopher corrects him, "No, no, my good sir. The most we can deduce is that in scotland some of the sheep are black!"

The mathematician is silent for a few moments, and then says, "You are both wrong. The best we can do is this: in scotland there exists at least one sheep, at least one side of which is black.

So has the media been alerted or were we waiting on me to make those calls?

Lol

Seriously though, wonderful capture.

OK, so now we know that in middle Tennessee there is at least one bird that is an Osprey on all sides except possibly the left and top. I can't swear to those sides but the rest is most assuredly Osprey.

If it were an extra X Chromosome would that make it a Dove?

I was waiting for you to call. They don't seem to pay much attention to me after that Wood Duck episode.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments. Despite people telling me that there are Ospreys in middle Tennessee this is only the second time in my life I've ever noticed one (as opposed to seeing one). The first time was a few weeks ago in this same exact spot but the bird was so far out over the lake I could only tell what it was after taking a 500mm shot and then zooming way in on the LCD. That time it was carrying a fish it had just captured but the image was so pixelated due to the digital zoom it was unusable. Getting this one shot made it a worthwhile drive over there

Now that's a very good point! It would explain a lot of things to

Thanks, Snowbear.

That happened to me once. 3 bar fights later I managed to get my way back out again. After that I bought a GPS.
