The Osprey in Flight, these photos were taken next to the ocean as we walked along the beach. This gorgrous osprey was doing a little fishing. They dive into the water just like the brown pelicans to catch their fish. I did not see them hit the water, but I am thinking they catch their fish with their claws instead. The last photo shows their amazing claws.

There are 87 Different Species of Kingfisher’s in the world and this one can fly about 36 miles per hour. Luckily I caught this one sitting down for a minute. And this is the first one I have ever seen. What a surprise to see it yesterday as we were out for a drive. This one is the Belted Kingfisher.
The Belted Kingfisher is one of the few bird species in which the female is more brightly colored than the male.
Now this is a new bird to me also, but with the help of other bloggers I discovered that it is a female Grosbeak, and with this species the male is way more colorful than the female.

I just put a photo of the Colorful Blue Jay in to fill the page. 🙂
