Another wow. Great picture, mesquite. I actually once saw an osprey when I was sailing off the coast of Maine. Very impressive boid.

tai, I'm usually not a fan of wild animals being pets, but this seems fitting to me.

Hiya, Alex. How ya doin'? That boid looks like it had a rough night.

mesquite, Two wonderful pics. Thanks.

Mutt (what a face):

reg, Mutt is a fine looking boid for a vulture.

mesquite, Cormorants have green eyes! Who knew? Wonderful.

@Roberta,
Stunning chameleon, Roberta. Wow, the colours. And the texture of the skin. Looks rather like intricate beading.

olga, Great squirrel.

Letty, Wonderful opossums. Thanks.

Olga, The first time I saw one of these (at the Bronx Zoo) I thought it looked like a beaded bag with legs, eyes, and teeth. The gila monster is one of the few venomous lizards:
