Default Osprey behind Waterfront on piling

The Villages Florida

Stopped on ramp behind Waterfront Inn and caught this osprey sitting on a piling.

Why doesn't that pic come through? I have seen other ones but some don't show up. Any ideas?

I think if they're on a bird, they're talons.

Good picture .... beautiful Birds. I saw an American Bald Eagle several months ago while on the Golf course at Cane Garden. I have not seen one since. Are they prevalent in the area and I'm just not in the right place?

would love to get a picture of an eagle in the villages. Have seen them a few times but not close enough for a picture.
