Thought you might enjoy this pose. He looks like he's posing with his catch for the camera!

Can't figure this one out. Colors and chest pattern don't look right for a Red Shoulder. Maybe a juvi? Anyone have an idea?

Guess they eat anything they can find, eh?

looks like a 1st year red-shouldered to me.

Nice catch! The osprey looks like he's showing off his catch to you.

Did you notice that the osprey is smiling while the catfish is frowning? :)


Not sure about the hawk. If paulnj doesn't ID it by tonight, I'll look through my raptor ID book when I get back home late tonight.

That is a young EASTERN race of redshouldered hawk. You are used to seeing the florida subspecies :D

Great catch, on both.
