To continue this thread, I also have both an Osprey and a Bald Eagle that have nested not too far away, about 1/4th mile. I see both almost every morning at Sunrise as they hunt the lake. The Bald Eagle loves to perch on the large Cotton Wood trees we have near the Lake. Three times this Summer I saw the Bald Eagle in Hot Pursuit of the Osprey that was carrying a fresh fish catch. The Osprey was yelling like crazy with the Eagle about 10' behind exactly paralleling it's flight. This went on for about 5 minutes until the Osprey dropped it's catch, then the Eagle dropped back to gather it off the water. Lucky to see all the action, but I do get up before dawn each day before anyone else while the world is awakening. AAHHHH, the retired life !! OK, so the Kestrels are cool, but I miss all the other birds, etc. except the Starlings and Grackles. And I wish they were not so loud all day. Being a Farm kid, I love nature/
