Not Our Usual Backyard Bird.

When I saw this bird flying over the lake, I thought it was a hawk. After cropping the pictures, I see the stripe on its face. Could it be an osprey? I've seen them in a different part of Virginia (by the Chesapeake Bay), and it could be migrating. Bird watchers, please tell me!

  1. Linda,

    I'm not a bird watcher, so I can't give you any advice here. But, I will say you did a heck of a job capturing whatever it is, though. I don't do well with birds. They have to be stoke still before I have a prayer to get anything. lol

    Oh yeah, I left this in my response to you on my site but I did take your suggestion and sketched a swan. I plan to use it in a very near future post giving you credit for the challenge. :)

    Thanks for stopping by and linking up yesterday. Have super duper day!

  2. It looks like an Osprey to me, but I am not an expert at IDs.
    Have a great day!
