CLOSED: Osprey!! (I hope)

Fox Island, WA(Zone 8b)

It would be great if this turns out to be an osprey - new birdie for me! I am fairly sure that's what it is because nothing else I have looked at matches as well. It also let out a little call that sounds similar to the one I listened to on Cornell's page of an Osprey.

Can anyone confirm this sighting for me please please please?

Yes, note the distinctive angle at which the wings are held in your first picture (i.e. at angle at the "elbow") - that's a good field mark for osprey.

I read that in my ID book about the angle, wasn't exactly sure what it meant. Now I know! Yay new birdie! Thanks everyone
