You were wondering whether I specifically had ever witnessed the flight of an osprey? Why would you care whether I have ever witnessed the flight of an osprey? What is this, some kind of inquisition? What are you, some kind of busybody who goes around in everyone else's business? How DARE you ask me whether I've ever witnessed the flight of an osprey!?

Okay, I'll tell you. I haven't. There, are you happy now?! I haven't seen an osprey in flight! I'm such a loser! Thanks for bringing up the one thing that makes me cry myself to sleep every night. I've never seen an osprey fly, and I never will! Damn you, Gus! Damn you for bringing this topic up!

Many times, right near my house. I have seen them carrying a huge fish in their talons. For those who don't know, ospreys are popularly known as "fish eagles", because they eat....................................fish. Also, for people who are not too familiar with different birds, they are often mistaken for the bald eagle, which they are not! Razz

And I never will. I was stricken with Osprey-blindness as a child.

The Turkey Buzzard is common to the desert south of albuquerque into Texas and mexico. They stand about 19 ft tall and weigh up to 210 lbs and eat Honda Civics for brekkies. They take no **** from ospreys.

That's a turkey VULTURE. There are no buzzards on the North American continent.

Quote:
WHAT IS A BUZZARD?
Buzzard is the correct term for a family of hawks. (ie the European buzzard, Buteo buteo, closely related to the American red tailed hawk). In America, the term is often employed incorrectly to describe vultures. This probably dates back to the arrival of the first English colonists. There are no vultures of any type in England, so these pioneers probably gave the common term "buzzard" to all the soaring figures above the New World.
