Osprey with a History 6 (Pandion haliaetus)

Bandit (whom I identify by the two dark spots in her left iris) is still here after Hurricane Idalia created a storm surge that put the area under four feet of water. I've been seeing/hearing two osprey but didn't get out in my kayak until today. Bandit called and when I didn't see her and went on by she had a screeching cow until I turned around and came back. I cooed, she preened, and all is right with the world.
