Great capture of a magnificent bird/raptor Thad.
They are probably on their way to Nashville to aid in the cleanup following the devasting and fatal tornado.
I love your title. Maybe the Osprey is the King of Country Music.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Striking capture, details and composition are perfect. So interesting to view, makes one think about nature's creations...the look in the eyes is riveting.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Great capture, Thad!
I suppose because of their attitude that they've regarded that you and/or camera posed a threat for them and the young ones.

PS: I was smiling by Tick's comment's by comparing your title with the Grand Ole Opry, 😁

Man these are magnificent Ron!!! Sue and I are semi-avid bird watchers and so I'll have to share some pictures and videos I've taken in recent years. I have a couple of great videos of kites hovering. I'll send everyone the link. Great closeup and thanks for sharing.
