As promised, more wonderful submitted pictures.
Kurt Kuehn doesn’t want me to say exactly where these first two pictures were taken, since there’s a nest involved. Let’s just say somewhere in St. Louis County:

Kurt said he thinks both of the pictures are of ospreys. I’ve never seen an osprey, but both pictures certainly seem like a match to the ospreys in my bird book.
The next two were taken on the Sax-Zim bog, also by Kurt Kuehn. Can you identify these birds?

Look like sandhill cranes.
Yes–sandhill cranes
Yes, of course the bottom two pictures are SHC’s. The first two pics were taken at a different time and location than the bottom two. I think the first two are Osprey’s.
Yes,the first two are Osprey’s. Nice pictures!
