Visitors Made my Heart Explode

Mr. and Mrs. Orville, the ospreys, stopped by to say hello. I was busy with myLot yesterday, at my desk overlooking the Intercostal and ocean beyond. It was so beautiful out, that I left my window open.
I'd recognize Orville's voice anywhere, and as they approached my window, I heard that beautiful chirp and tweet. I stood up and immediately flung open the window and waved and said, "Hi pretty birds!" They both turned their heads to look at me and hovered. Then, silently, flew down the coast.
I'm in love with that raptor. Any interaction I have with him makes my heart explode. Now I can enjoy his mate, as well.

@ElizabethWallace Females have a necklace - brown colored feathers that look like a necklace with a pendant. Aren't you impressed with my knowledge? Lol! I've studied them and am fascinated by everything.

so nice of them to visit you and fun to have named them too I had a crow pair that once visited m y window sill. He came first and went caw c aw so I went c aw ca w then he puffed his chest and cawed three times I repeated it he flew off then
returned wih a pretty lady crow I went caw hree times and she did that. I think cawcaw in crow talk means hello b ut three times means I have a wife lol I believe that birds are much more intelligent than we give them credit for.

He seems to like me a lot! When I was at the pool a few days ago, he was out fishing. I called to him in a high pitched voice, and he flew right overhead and hovered. Everyone was amazed. He usually does that, even if I'm in the house and call him. The best was when he showed me a fish he caught by flying right up to my window, where I was at my desk. He hovered while my mouth gaped, them flew back to his nest. Amazing!!!!!!

I love to watch the birds at our bird feeder. I will often greet them with a cheery hello.

Orville amazes us. He's the only one who chirps, tweets, and whistles, so that makes it very easy. Lol! The only problem with opening that window, which faces the water, is that sometimes the breeze is too strong. It sets off our fire alarm and Browns the blinds. We can't lose them, or else we'd be blinded by the morning sun.

@SIMPLYD He won't let me get near him, but he comes as close as he can when I call him. He has razor sharp claws and a huge wingspan. He chirps at me, flys by my window, peeks in, hovers over me when I'm outside if I talk to him, and flew up to my window to show off a fish he caught. He has the sweetest voice, too. I love him as if he were a pet.
