Can't help lovin' that man o' mine...
Because, really, who doesn't love an osprey? Other than anything with fins, I mean.
But who loves 'em best?
For this one day, we'll chase all the other birds out of the diary and focus on Pandion haliaetus in all their glory.
In honor of martyc35's birthday, it's an Ospreyfest!
Whether they are chillin' in the fog...
... or soaking up the sun ...
... they give us something to look up to.

So find a comfortable place to settle in for the Grand Ole Opry Osprey!
And settling in to a comfortable place, here's another lovely Osprey on high offering Happy Birthday wishes from Kestrel.
Plus one more, because one can never have enough beautiful Ospreys like candles on a birdy birthday cake!
