The bottom pic is an Osprey, Pandion haliaetus. They are fish eaters.

I don’t believe I’ve ever identified an osprey in the wild before. With that beak, I am not surprised he eats fish. He reminds me of the brahminy kites that live in this area. They often wheel above the valley between the ridge where I live and the ridge where our school is.

"The bottom pic is an Osprey, Pandion haliaetus. They are fish eaters." I watch them feed out this window where I'm presently sitting. (and all those other birds too.)
