thanks.  they're pretty common around here if you're near the bay.  down this one road (maybe about a mile or so long) there's two nesting pairs, this one i think is nesting on the old pylons of a former lighthouse that burned down.  the one thing i have to watch out for in this location is drug dealers.  there's a nesting pair in the river behind my aunt's house, they screech constantly.

thanks.  it's seems to be more common to see them with a fish than without.  they hold on to the fish for awhile and eat them slowly.

That is a superb photograph as a 'just took this on the way home  type of picture....Copius amounts of envy from me too.

Bit of a giveaway for the druggie dealers if they make that much noise ..sorry loki, couldnt resist the quip
