Poor bird! Who knows what I might have been saying to him!! I forgot to say this is a male Osprey, he lacks the brown "necklace" the female has.

I can sit for hours watching the Osprey fish. One of our island parks has a lagoon formed by the receding tide...a great bird watching spot.

The canal below these birds is also home to this alligator, Alligator mississippiensis, although I'm sure that's only temporary. They move around a lot. I couldn't get above the fence for a better shot...he was easily 6 foot.
