Anyone care to ID this bird silhouetted against the blastoff of space ship Atlantis? I'd say it's an osprey and, if you look carefully, you can see there's a fish in it's talons. Any other thoughts?

Hi Al,

I agree with you. It sure looks like an Osprey to me, with those gull-like wings and a fish in its talons. Only birders would bother to ID a bird in a pic of the shuttle lift-off. :D
