I just managed to capture this guy (or gal) over Spruce Knob Lake. This is at the full 400mm my lens is capable of and that’s all I got.

Here’s a crop. I think this is a young bald eagle, but I’m no expert. I base this on the location as well as how it was going after fish in the lake. Unsuccessfully, as it happens. After this dive and coming up with empty talons, it flew off and hid in the trees on the far side of the lake, presumably in a sulk.
Edit: It seems we think this is an osprey. I’ve looked at some pictures online and I believe that’s so. Pandion haliaetus carolinensis if what I’ve been reading is correct.
Looks like an osprey!
Nice Osprey. They are very common where I live but I still get excited every time I spot one.
George.
Damn I was gonna say Charlie. but he does look more like a George.
Yeah I’d agree it’s an Osprey. Crop the trees out at the bottom, keep the bird dead centre and
nudge the exposure and contrast very slightly andyou’ve got a cracking shot!Edit: had the brightness turned down on my phone 🤦🏻♂️
Osprey, maybe even right before diving!
Penguin (above the osprey)
Osprey have a bit of a kink, or slightly bent wing.

Seahawks.
