I always find it interesting when I enter an upscale senior living clubhouse or meeting area and 1960s, 70s or 80s music from the Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, etc. is playing. It just does not define the occasion. It is teenage music. It is time to remember we are not teenagers any longer and most of the themes are dated. I am no authority on music but perhaps some classical jazz or ballads would be more appropriate. BTW, I still enjoy many of the pop songs of today.
The Osprey is probably my favorite bird. If their talons are not as large as an Eagle's, it is darn close.
But why, even when you are ready and the Osprey is paying you no attention, do they always fly in the wrong direction?
Great shots.
Try Delray Camera at 561-278-3331. 217 N.E. 4th Avenue. I bought mt Sony A6600 from them.
The Sigma 150-600 Contemporary will save you two pounds and is still a pretty good lens.

Are you sure it wasn't just the eye sensor on the viewfinder getting dirty? That has happened to me a couple of times and the rear LCD stops until the sensor is cleaned.
That happened to my Sony a6600. The owner of Delray Camera where I bought it immediately knew what the problem was and had me on my way in a couple minutes.
Great shots. They say it is the most photographed bird in the world. Keep them coming.
Gators do not attack. Just maintain a modest distance.
Excellent color print quality IMHO. Paper feed seems much smoother and quieter than my former XP 960. Best of all 6 or 7 times the number of prints versus cartridge printers and the replacement ink is no more expensive.
Thanks Joe and Ross. I have learned much about these two species. As in many birds there are so many variables such as age, sex, breeding vs nonbreeding and molting. I am inclined to believe but not convinced this is the Chestnut-sided Warbler passing through en route to his winter home in the Caribbean or South America.
Thanks again but new ideas still welcome.

Thanks Bill. I will check that one again.
Sorry, this should have been in Photo Gallery.
The attached bird is probably a type of warbler or vireo and has recently migrated to S. Florida 50 miles north of Miami. It looks like he would be easy to identify but after going through two fairly complete bird guides, I am still at loss. Could any fellow birders help?
Most all Florida crocodiles live in brackish water so this is almost certainly a gator. The rounded snout confirms it. As an aside, gators do not stock or attack people as cross do. The few people bitten or injured by a gator almost always step on him. Nice picture.
