Thank you all for your comments.

Gary, I am equally envious of some of your Alaskan shots especially the Bald Eagles. I am awaiting the arrival of more Bald Eagles here in Maryland for the winter months.

original_sybil, the more time one spends in the field the "luckier" they get !!! I learned that a long time ago while deer hunting.

Felix, mentioned in the opening comments, has crossed the Panama and is now on the Pacific side. Attached is the most recent map. Unfortunately, one other Osprey named Patience went down about 40 miles from land (near Panama). She apparently just ran out of energy. I recall reading somewhere where only 20% of first year Osprey chicks survive. That's sad ......
